I think you're misunderstanding where the limitation is coming from.
The console itself is limited in functionality compared to what's
expected of a terminal.  Cygwin can only do so much to smooth out
those limitations.  This particular issue is a corner case, perhaps
an extreme corner case.  If there is some work-around that could be
found and/or implemented, it's probably of limited value in general
so it's likely that someone with the itch will need to chase
this down and implement a workaround if possible.  Besides that, the
alternatives are to side-step the console limitations by using mintty
or take this upstream to ComEmu or MS.
