Is it a known limitation that "native" Windows programs cannot be suspended?


Yes. Window programs do not understand cygwin signals.

Thats true for cygwin part. Native programs still can be suspended/resumed but not by cygwin (or shell that is running and waiting finishing of active process).

It could be done in such a way that it could be possible, but it would need propably need native windows stuff in shell(s) in question.
