Since I modernized my Cygwin installation the problem does not appear any
more.
I should have done this before complaining. Sorry for the inconvenience.

In a free software project, you shouldn't have to think in terms of
"workarounds". Instead think "How do I fix the problem".
The sources for scanf are available. They're in
newlib/libc/stdio/scanf.c .
If you think there is a problem, then the best way to address it is to
investigate patching it and sending the patch to
newlib@sources.redhat.com.
