Yes. 

Tonight, I tried 

  cygwin-inst-20120507.tar.bz2

and I started rxvt, started sshd, ssh'd to the localhost within
the rxvt window, then started GNU screen, opened 4 screen "windows", 
and several vim sessions ( each suspended ). The bug does *not* show up.

Then, if I 'putty -ssh' (version .60) to the localhost, and then run 

  procps -wwH -o pid,ppid,user,tty,args -e

it hangs.

So putty triggers it.  I'll try a newer version of putty.
I like being able to paste w/the middle mouse button w/putty.
