The problem is two fold, after a quick investigation:

1) Yes, there is a bug in the code, that will always return false when
   checking if suspend is supported, for windows.  That will be corrected.

2) GDB on cygwin has a peculiar behaviour, if a program is debug with
   a redirect console(via "set new-console" command) it is not possible
   to interupt it i.e. sending gdb a SIGINT will not work.

   This is the same problem we have with Solaris gdb, when using --tty to
   redirect the console we are not able to suspend the inferior(the application)
   via a SIGINT to gdb.

Yes.

We will try to find other hacks(way around) to make this work.
Can not guarantee it will be in the comming release.
One avenue is to find manually the PID of the inferior, spawn by gdb
and send ourselfs the SIGINT or the Break Event for windows platform. 
We could do this by extendig Spawner.raise();
