Just as another data point, I can't duplicate this, even though I'm using 
the same versions of xterm and Zsh.  Other possible variables:

Cygwin/X X Server / Version 1.5.3 (20090222)

Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2 / Standard Edition / Service Pack 2

Cygwin DLL version info: (from cygcheck -s)
 DLL version: 1.5.25
 DLL epoch: 19
 API major: 0
 API minor: 156


(1.5.25 seems old... I thought 1.7 was out... will check on that and 
report back if I upgrade and it breaks.)

Best,
Ben
