I've done some tests weeks ago. AFAICS, Emacs and processes from
Cygwin don't cooperate due to terminal settings I don't
understand. Working combinations are Emacs-provided-by-Cygwin and
Cygwin processes like OpenSSH, or Emacs outside Cygwin and non-Cygwin
processes like PuTTY. This behaviour seems to be new for a year or so,
because it wasn't a problem before.

Likely it should be mentioned in the Tramp documentation, as Kai wrote.

Best regards, Michael.
