I just started emacs in a maximized mintty window and had no problem with cursor movement.

In that case wouldn't it also happen when mintty was not maximised? Quoting Simon Tatham yet again: In bug reports, try to make very clear what are actual facts and what are speculations. Leave out speculations if you want to, but don't leave out facts. So please do answer Thomas' questions. If possible, attach the file that shows the problem.
