The behavior I see is:
1) start screen in xterm #1 then detach
2) try to reattach in xterm #1 fails
3) reattach with xterm #2 works
4) try to reattach in xterm #1 still fails
or in general, the first terminal that tries to reattach to a running
screen session is forever locked out, but all subsequent terminals
will succeed.
Give Mark Edgar's patch[*] a try. With it applied, screen behaves
better under Cygwin for me. Reattaching from the same terminal and
multi-display mode both work. There are still some problems, however.
Detaches sometimes get hung. Opening a new terminal and running
'screen -list' will cause the hung detach to complete most of the
time.
