What does "cat ~/.bash_logout" say?

- the command "cygcheck -c Cygwin" clears the local lines from
      screen (1) immediately even _before_ exit

This is normal behavior of cygwin 3.1.7.
I doubt some non-cygwin program is automatically executed
in ~/.bash_logout .

There's also /etc/bash.bash_logout.  The default version of that clears the 
screen:

$ cat /etc/defaults/etc/bash.bash_logout
[...]
# base-files version 4.3-2

# /etc/bash.bash_logout: executed by bash(1) when login shell exits.

# The latest version as installed by the Cygwin Setup program can
# always be found at /etc/defaults/etc/bash.bash_logout

# Modifying /etc/bash.bash_logout directly will prevent
# setup from updating it.

# System-wide bashrc file

# when leaving the console clear the screen to increase privacy
if [ "$SHLVL" = 1 ]; then
  [ -x /usr/bin/clear ] && /usr/bin/clear
