OK, looking at your original message again, I misinterpreted the results.

OK, this is interesting.  I can't explain this offhand.

This sound a bit like the age-old problem of Windows programs not
understanding Cygwin ptys but that's nothing new and I'm not aware
of any recent changes myself that could have a bearing.  Given that
and other details you've provided, I don't believe this is the same
issue.

Aside from this set of Windows tools, can you reproduce the same behavior
with some more commonly available and more compact utility?
