Keyboard LED management is a new feature as described in the manual 
page. The purpose is to keep the LEDs consistent with the state of the 
terminal window.

If you assign a user-defined no-scroll or scroll-mode function to a key 
(regardless of whether it's the ScrollLock or another key), the 
ScrollLock will change accordingly.

It will be changed to the terminal state when the terminal window gets 
focus and restored to the system state when the terminal loses focus, as 
you noted below.

> Holding the key down causes the light to flicker, and on releasing the key the final state may be either on or off.
Auto-repeat may in fact confuse the state management, to be checked for 
a race condition.

What is your use case and how do you control the LEDs?
Anyway, if you do not wish mintty to manage the ScrollLock (or any) LED, 
try setting
ManageLEDs=3 or ManageLEDs=0
