try bash.exe.gz from my page http://gnu-win32.paranoia.ru , then try setting
BASH_TITLE (it acts just like PS1 prompt). also try un-setting CYGWIN_TITLE
if you really hate it. my preference is

export CYGWIN_TITLE=strip
export BASH_TITLE='bash - \d - \w'

this way i get current date, time and path when in prompt, and command name
(paths stripped) when a command is running.
