Make sure terminfo is installed -- there should be a file /usr/lib/terminfo/c/cygwin. Unset TERMINFO if it is set. Make sure the CYGWIN variable includes "tty". Also, note that there is a separate package for X11 emacs. If you don't install it, all you get from the "emacs" package is the usual terminal-mode emacs.
