OK, I can reproduce it now.  The fix is to make sure your CYGWIN 
environment variable contains tty before starting the console.  I use a 
modified Cygwin.bat that does this.  (That's why I couldn't reproduce 
your problem the first time I tried.)

$ cat bin/Cygwin.bat
@echo off
C:
chdir C:\cygwin-1.7\bin
SET CYGWIN=%CYGWIN% tty
bash --login -i
