So:
1. We codify that the important properties line cygwin/mingw should
be fixed for a given version configured in user-config.jam, and that
adding -mno-cygwin by hand is not OK.
2. -mno-cygwin actually changes the output of -dumpmachine?

This seems like a good approach, except that we don't have this
'conditional feature as default' thing you appear to suggest above.
Or I musunderstood, and it's actually doable now?
