Using strace, stripping down this very repeatable test, and grabbing the 
source-code snapshot, it looks like winsup/cygwin/select.cc 
socket_cleanup() is waiting forever for the thread to go away.

strace:

   121 6732185 [main] python3.8 13329 select_stuff::cleanup: calling 
cleanup rout
ines
   178 6732363 [main] python3.8 13329 socket_cleanup: si 0x800290E10 
si->thread 0
x18023E758
-

But I don't see the select_printf("returning")  at select.cc:1808, so 
the si->thread->detach() call seems to be blocked forever.  I don't see 
that we make it here either:

     select.cc:1685  select_printf ("leaving thread_socket");

I see a bool stop_thread field in select_info, inherited by 
select_socket_info (select.h), used by other mechanisms. Seems that 
could be set by socket_cleanup() and used by thread_socket() to break 
out of its event loops (select.cc lines 1660  and 1667)
