I can reproduce this problem and I don't know why it happens.  A
simple "solution" is to use rxvt rather than a command window.
I've attached the /cygwin.bat file I use for this purpose: you may
need to adjust for your setup.

Note that there is also the problem that ssh-agent doesn't
shutdown cleanly if you logout (on an NT box).  I assume it's not
responding to the necessary signal but I've not yet been bothered
to investigate this.
