I tested also on my older notebook which has Windows XP and only one core with the current official Cygwin release: no problems with AltGr at all. My newer notebook has Windows 7 and quadcore. So it seems that this is a timing problem or race condition that has something to do with newer Windows versions and/or multi core architecture.
