Good question. No, it doesn't. As should be described in the User's Guide[1], the 'tty' setting in $CYGWIN serves only to compensate for the deficiencies of the Windows console terminal handling (Ctrl-C and NUL). If emacs is invoked in any terminal other than the cmd.exe "console" (e.g., rxvt, or xterm), no special settings are needed. Neither does this apply to windowed modes of emacs, which do their own keyboard input handling.
