Interesting and very strange :) Perhaps also try changing the font that you're using in the console window to a Truetype font (like Lucida Console). I think the Command Prompt raster fonts only support the default OEM code page. I suspect that this will make the "svn cat" output work properly, but will break the Cygwin cat output :(
