This has nothing to do with the snapshot. It's the latest change to cygrunsrv which re-introduced the short flash. It's very simple. Either a console window flashes for a split-second, or you will never see a console window, but the console window is then unusable for output from the service application. There's no way around this for now. To not lose the output capability, you'll have to live with the flashing window.
