I opened an issue with upstream: https://github.com/tmux/tmux/issues/2725. It appears that the problem is not a simple #ifdef missing. Tmux is now passing the file handle for stdout from the client to the server processes, something that Cygwin doesn't support (see https://sourceware.org/legacy-ml/cygwin/2004-01/msg00060.html). The upstream author mentioned a potential workaround. Maybe there's someone with the necessary skills here on the mailing list who has the time to lend him a hand?
