When I press C, the line

remains and there is no cursor anywhere,
until I then press ESC. Then the cursor appears in the buffer and the
command line completely disappears.
Pressing <Enter> at the [Y]es, (N)o, (C)ancel prompt makes vim write and
exit.
If I press Alt-F4 *directly*, the command line disappears and the cursor
immediately draws back in the buffer, as I am expecting.

The "proper" way to exit Vim is by means of one of the commands ":q[uit]",
":wq", ":x[it]", ":exi[t]" (if there is only one window), or ":qa[ll]",
":quita[ll]", ":wqa[ll]", ":xa[ll]" (regardless of the number of windows or
buffers). All of these except those starting with :q imply that modified
buffers will be written (if they have a name).
see
:help write-quit
:help window-exit
The "Cancel" reply (in Yes, No, Cancel) means you don't want to exit after
all. It should let you go back to editing rather than hang. Try Ctrl-L to see
if it might be a retrace problem. (The fact that Esc clears the command-line
text is normal.)
Does the output of your ":version" command include (among the first 5 lines) a
line starting with "Included patches:"? If it doesn't, then you're missing 168
bugfixes at last count, and in that case I recommend that you upgrade using
Steve Hall's Vim distribution for Windows at
https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=43866&package_id=39721
The summary of the patches is found at
http://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/patches/7.0/README
If you want to save the output of ":version" (or of any other command) to a
file or to a register (including the clipboard), see ":help :redir".
Best regards,
Tony.
