Details

The current mintty launch command breaks vi (cursor keys don't work). This works pretty well for me: START %MOZILLABUILD%msys\bin\mintty -e %MOZILLABUILD%msys\bin\bash --login
This is a basically a situation where we have to pick one set of crappy UX or another (bin/console is needed to avoid other issues). Given that the long-term direction is to move from MozillaBuild to WSL and MozillaBuild is basically in maintenance-only mode at this point, I'm going to call this wontfix.
