Looks like you need to bounce this upstream by raising this issue on https://github.com/mintty/mintty/issues/new stating that file D'n'D to cmd works but mintty doesn't, and copying the background, and Windows, Cygwin, and mintty info you provided here, to help provide a quicker diagnosis: please be sure to mention that the Options/Text Locale and Charset boxes are unset, just in case that could have an effect. -- Take care.
