It's certainly possible that you've installed it in Windows as well.
I'd simply use another font (or even a wholLy non-existing one).

I'll have to sneak it in somehow next week trying to reproduce this on a
different machine (running XP for testing) that has a clean Cygwin
installation.  I've been testing a lot on my own machine for the last
few weeks and I don't really trust that installation anymore, but I
can't nuke it right now.

I can try it again in bash and I should have nothing non-standard in my
.bashrc, but will check again to make sure.  I've mentioned tcsh because
it is handling job control and some I/O issues differently than other
shells and that has been triggering different behaviour in the past.
