Finally, I've decided to compile Emacs myself on Cygwin, this allows me
to go forth and back between git revisions.

I could reproduce the problem, but I have no clear view yet what to do
with timings. So I've pushed a change to master which declares all tests
as :unstable on Cygwin, as discussed.

I'm closing this bug, but (as time permits) I'll try to do better. No
promise, and there's not too much spare time, but I hate it if code
written by me doesn't work.

Best regards, Michael.
