Can you send me the specific key sequence you are using to generate this?
Are you using a CMD window or rxvt or an xterm?  Also, are you using the
stock zsh 4.3.5 source distro or have you applied the Cygwin patches from
4.3.4 to it before building?

I've recently built 4.3.5 for Cygwin and have been testing it before
releasing it.  Send me the key sequences you are using and I'll see if I
can repro it.

As Corinna noted, Cygwin doesn't really support utf-8, so this might have
some bearing on the matter.  And, you should know that some multi-byte
delete issues have been identified on other, supposedly, UTF-8 compliant
systems, so you aren't the first to hit this.
