What version of Emacs is that?  And how few is ``a very few files''?
Completion worked for me in "emacs -nw" in the latest CVS version for
as long as I tried.

Also, does it help to invoke "emacs -nw -q"?  Perhaps your .emacs
customizations are the culprit?

I only tried the native Command Prompt window.  I'd guess Cygwin rxvt
_does_ have something to do with this, as there are fundamental
incompatibilities between Cygwin and native Windows handling of the
console device.  Are you sure you tried in ``plain console''? could it
be that the Cygwin Bash was running in the plain console?
