console question

I've come across an anomaly with the standard cygwin console regarding
cursor advancement.
If I have a console 80 chars wide, and echo the following text:
^[[H12345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890^Mxxxxxxxx
I would expect to see the following output (as I do in Linux or rxvt):
xxxxxxxx901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890
however, if the console is 80 chars wide, I instead see
12345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890
xxxxxxxx
The cursor is being advanced to the second line when the 80th
character is written to the screen, this shouldn't be the default
behavior.
Can someone who is familiar with the source point me to the correct
location so I can address this?
Thanks!
-Jeff
