To help debugging this (for whoever may start an effort, including 
myself eventually), some more diagnostics:
Let's clearly distinguish 2 things:
- Interrupt the JVM with Ctrl-C (or kill -2): this works perfectly. It 
didn't work though in some snapshots between 1.7.17 and 1.7.18, see 
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2013-01/msg00196.html
- Invoke the JVM interrupt hook: this does not work in mintty but it 
does in cygwin console.
However, it can be forced *not* to work in cygwin console either by 
redirecting *both* stdin and stdout:
cat | java ... | tee /dev/null
