It seems the bug is in MS console API, not in MS C library, because
   - the problem occurs when the test program is compiled with Borland C++.
   - substuting printf() with WriteFile(), which printf() and stdio libbary
     functions internally use, will also cause the problem.

The fact that it does not occur with Cygwin's gcc may be because Cygwin's
library does many things for the purpose of supporting ANSI escape sequences
or other UNIX features.

P.S. The problem occurs on Windows XP also.
