To answer the question myself: it seems that it is a problem with openssh under cygwin 1.7.1. I found a similar problem here:

http://www.mail-archive.com/cygwin@cygwin.com/msg103749.html

The proposed workaround is to use plink instead of openssh. I tried it and so far it seems to work. It's not as nice as openssh, but at least it's a workaround until the issue is solved.

Kind Regards, Andre
