I searched in /bin and found that many of cygwin programs calls win32 api
directly. However, the only cygwin programs which calls console APIs are
cygrunsrv.exe, gdb.exe and w3m.exe in my installation.

cygrunsrv calls:

        1385cc    401  IsWindowVisible
        1385de    644  wsprintfA

None of them calls:
FillConsoleOutputAttribute()
FillConsoleOutputCharacterA()
FillConsoleOutputCharacterW()
ScrollConsoleScreenBufferA()
ScrollConsoleScreenBufferW()

So, I would like to withdraw this patch for now. Thanks.
