I'm not sure what the issue with Windows is.  On UNIX, SSH finds and 
grabs the user's tty, bypassing any intermediate parent processes 
entirely and avoiding the issue.

Windows has no equivalent of TTYs as far as I know.  If the writers of 
PuTTY aren't trying to keep their command lines and GUIs seperate, a 
pop-up password request box might work, but you'll have to deal with 
PuTTY's developers on that one.
