You're misunderstanding Cygwin, if you are asking such questions.

Cygwin is designed to work. Native console or mintty - they are just terminals
that are in parallel to the nature of Cygwin as a platform for portable
software.
It comes by no surprize, that certain terminals have limitations, and indeed
Cygwin terminal driver for native console have more issues than most due to
the nature of native console.
mintty was born exactly to combat the deficiencies of native console.
It understand and provide all the normal TTY functionality a POSIX application
expects, it even fix some deviations of PuTTY code it is based upon, making it
a preferred choice for remote terminals.
If you could convince ConEmu developers to provide adequate TTY functionality,
you can just use it as a replacement for mintty, instead of trying to nest
terminal emulators, which would never work straight.
