Me too on GNU/Linux Mint 18 and macOS nor on MSYS2/MinGW64 or MSYS2 
(which has an Emacs package too). It seems WSL related but affects only 
emacs-25 branch.

WSL installs Ubuntu 14.04 [*] and installing the full emacs24 package 
does not show the issue (notice that also the full package, a GTK3 
build, starts in terminal mode, no GUI).

Ciao,
 Angelo.
