Can anybody reproduce this?
Yes, and it seems to be an issue with cat, not mintty:
cat x hangs
grep . x works
cat x | grep . works
grep . x | cat hangs for seconds repeatedly even without ^S
Killing the cat process sometimes works (releasing mintty),
sometimes it claims "No such process" although it's in the task table (ps).
