This may or may not be related:
I've found that I can duplicate this type of behavior by setting the 
CYGWIN environment variable AFTER I start a bash shell.
Start bash shell
$ export CYGWIN=tty
$ vi anyfile ; quit vi
$ ls [this is NOT echoed back].

Then running
$ stty sane
stty: standard input: unable to perform all requested operations
shows the above error message and changes nothing.

I know that to get CYGWIN properly set it needs to be done BEFORE 
starting the shell, but it seems to give me fits no matter what.
Have also tried doing "stty echoe" but get the same message and no changes.
