So I'm closing the bug.

As said, there are good chances that I'll have access to an MS Windows
machine next week; I'll run all tests there.

I have seen with inotify that I'll get a changed and then an
attribute-changed event; the attribute-changed event is suppressed in
the test.

On MS Windows, there are no attribute-changed events IIUC; they are sent
also as changed events. Therefore, you see two changed events. This is
also the case in other tests, see the comments in
file-notify-test02-events. I'll try to verify this, and adjust the
expected events for file-notify-test07-backup on MS Windows.

Best regards, Michael.
