It sounds like you have three options, then:
1) Use DJGPP.
2) Submit a patch to Cygwin to fix this behavior since you seem to think
it is relatively trivial. I can't say that I agree but I'll certainly
inspect any patch that you provide.
3) Modify your code.
As I mentioned, since this sequence even fails on some UNIX systems I
don't think that it is a priority for attempting some kind of
complicated work-around in cygwin code.
However, if you do think that this is crucial, then you probably should
investigate the issue further and provide a patch.
Good Luck,
cgf
