Jason,
I think I installed a fresh minimalist copy at C:\cygwin64TEST, went
into the bin directory and invoked mintty.
Within the new mintty, I started vi, and performed the vi insertion
test. I did not find escape characters inserted.

I would try to note differences from my typical environment - a new
binary directory / mintty invoked from the bin directory / running
bash instead of tcsh / I think the home directory was the same / not
all startup files were found or used / I felt very strange in this
setup :) .
