Google saves the day.  Once I figured out what I was doing, there's a 
mail thread with the answer.  Put this in cygwin.bat before bash starts:

set CYGWIN=codepage:oem

Seems there's a disconnect between the codepage Windows uses (ansi) and 
the one the termcap entry is for (oem).  Maybe this will even work for mutt.
