BRLTTY starts with a recent cygwin1.dll,, and the initial startup message is displayed on my braille display. Normally, it should be possible to press a scrolling key to make the message disappear, but nothing happens. If I, however, press the BRLTTY paste keys, the display is updated with the text at the current screen line. If the current line is a terminal prompt, and I type some text, the display isn't updated until I again press the BRLTTY paste. If I press the scroll up key for instance four times, and then press the paste keys, I can read the content of that line. I'm using a Handy Tech Modular Evolution braille display, and so the ht driver in BRLTTY are used. The problem may be related to the braille driver in BRLTTY, I don't know. Hope this helps.
