That would be a bug/limitation. The win32 version has a config option to
send command-key combinations to the other end.

True, but I think it's an XP bug rather than a cygwin one, it does that all
the time, particularly if you happen to be holding down a key or anything. MS
have done something baaaad to the alt-tab-ordering/vs/minimize-and-restore
behaviour in between 2k and xp. I'm always alt-tabbing these days and finding
some window I thought I'd minimized jumps up instead of the next-most-recent
one I was expecting...
This is OT for cygwin apps now. Fup-To set, bock-bock-b'gaaawk!
