Perhaps because the buildfarm does not actually test them on Windows,
because those tests are not run in MSVC scripts even if vcregress.pl is
run manually, and because doing a [install]check-world from the top of
the tree does not trigger them either?  We could get those running
within a TAP test automatically I think.
