No, it fails:

  Test file-notify-test04-file-validity condition:
      (ert-test-failed
       ((should
	 (equal '...
	  (mapcar ... events)))
	:form
	(equal
	 (created changed deleted)
	 nil)
	:value nil :explanation
	(different-types
	 (created changed deleted)
	 nil)))
     FAILED   9/12  file-notify-test04-file-validity

I guess the file-notify--test-with-events macro doesn't allow events
to come in on w32, but I have no idea how to debug this.

Moreover, file-notify-test05-dir-validity also fails:

  Test file-notify-test05-dir-validity condition:
      (ert-test-failed
       ((should-not
	 (file-notify-valid-p file-notify--test-desc))
	:form
	(file-notify-valid-p 91670672)
	:value t))
     FAILED  11/12  file-notify-test05-dir-validity

The latter could be because of the batch mode (it passes when I invoke
it interactively).  But the former fails in interactive session as
well, so it's a real problem.  Suggestions for debugging it are
welcome.
