For the record, the "official" solution is to start a daemon session
of the Cygwin Emacs, possibly with the -nw option in your case, and
then use emacsclient to open frames in that session.  Alternatively,
setting the external editor to 'emacsclient --alternate-editor=""'
will start the daemon the first time it is invoked.

In any case, there's no Emacs bug here, so I'm closing the bug report.
