I think I understand now. The request if for Cygwin to "do nothing" when it sees escape sequences since, apparently, ConEmu will handle escape sequences on its own. This is not a bug in Cygwin but, a request for different functionality. And, on rereading, the web page, I see that I just wasn't getting what was being requested. That was because I was thinking about this from the point of view of someone reporting this as an apparent long-standing bug in Cygwin when it was nothing of the sort. Anyway, gobbledegook label withdrawn.
