I've tried this, as described, using both Cygwin's git and MinTTY, and using the Git for Windows versions, and both work just fine for me.

I believe that's fixed in an upcoming Cygwin release, per [1], although I don't know when that release will happen, or how long it will take downstream projects like Git for Windows to pick it up.
