I get the same behavior with CYGWIN=tty or CYGWIN=notty.
I believe it is the 'readline' part of bash, since isn't
that what's responsible for wrapping scrolling *input*
command lines based on the setting of:

bash$ bind 'set horizontal-scroll-mode On'
bash$ bind 'set horizontal-scroll-mode Off'

Are you saying that when you repeat the scenario from my
original post, your lines always break at the last column
of the window?:
(Are you using generic b20.1 or a snapshot?  Maybe
it's fixed and not released?)
