I asked about this on the Cygwin list (https://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2016-05/msg00085.html).  Based on the response I got, I tried the following, which seems to work:

diff --git a/src/w32fns.c b/src/w32fns.c
index ede8f6b..705b978 100644
--- a/src/w32fns.c

       my_post_msg (&wmsg, hwnd, msg, wParam, lParam);
       return 0;

+    case WM_ENDSESSION:
+      terminate_due_to_signal (SIGTERM, 0);
+
     case WM_WINDOWPOSCHANGING:
       /* Don't restrict the sizing of any kind of frames.  If the window
         manager doesn't, there's no reason to do it ourselves.  */
