I see something similar:

$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-10.0 WIN10-BB-01 2.6.0(0.304/5/3) 2016-08-31 14:32 x86_64 Cygwin

buildbot@WIN10-BB-01 ~
$ apt-cyg install screen
$ screen --version
Screen version 4.04.00 (GNU) 19-Jun-16

$ screen
(inside the new screen:)
$ screen -Q info
(hangs 3 out of 4 tries so far)

On Linux, same sequence outputs stuff to stdout without hanging.

strace on cygwin shows

The hang is after that handle_sigsuspend line in the three times I've seen it,
right before screen would have printed Remove dead screens with 'screen -wipe'.

Seems highly repeatable, at least on my old install.
A little quality time with the source and maybe gdb would probably be
illuminating.
