Here's a thought.  Emacs NT would be a native Windows build of Emacs, so is definitely organized to 
interact properly with Windows subprocesses.  The Cygwin versions are designed to interact most 
easily with Cygwin subprocesses.  They can probably be made to work with Windows subprocesses, but 
as you found, there is at least one rough edge here.  My first guess would be something to do with 
line endings as they are conveyed back to the parent Emacs - the Windows "extra" CRs may confuse a 
Cygwin Emacs if it is not expecting them.  We sometimes see this with bash scripts brought over from 
Linux to Cygwin.  Anyway, this, or other character set related things, is where I would start to 
diagnose the issue and try different settings.  I would ask questions around what the terminal 
settings are that the subprocesses see, what exact characters are they outputting, etc.

Other are more expert than I in these details and may have specific settings to suggest that you 
look at :-) ...
