Mintty (and ssh, etc.) use pty's. cmd does not understand pty's. So if 
you run say Cygwin's bash from a cmd window and then start cmd you will 
not get the echoing. If, however, you start cmd from a bash shell that 
is in a mintty window then you're using pty's and you'll get echoing. 
Likewise if you run bash in a cmd window, then say ssh to another 
machine, you're now using pty's and you'll see the behavior again.
