Well I didn't apply this potentially dangerous patch because I wasn't
sure about it, which is why I asked for your opinion in comment #4 :-) 
I did, however, add a regression test for this particular behaviour:
https://github.com/openssh/openssh-portable/commit/5dba1fcabacaab46693338ec829b42a1293d1f52.

And while I do occasionally update Cygwin on my test VM, I didn't think
to do it in this case since I'd done it somewhat recently and it's not
the kind of behaviour that usually changes.  I updated it and indeed,
the test now passes:

$ make t-exec LTESTS=agent-subprocess
[...]
run test agent-subprocess.sh ...
ok agent subprocess
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/builder/openssh.anongit/regress'
all t-exec passed

Thanks for the help and sorry for the noise.
