The GNU source code in sh-utils as well as in the latest coreutils
has no such argument as --fqdn or --long.

Not yet. The Windows API is a bit weird coming to that. Especially
new APIs are available since W2K so there's no unified access to that
stuff on all supported Windows systems.

Dunno but I actually doubt that Cygwin and OE are using the same API.
Cygwin still uses old Winsock1 functionality, OE probably the new API
for DNS queries if available. You should ask OE questions better in a
related Microsoft newsgroup.
