Ah, sorry, I misinterpretted the result. Cygw32 Emacs can handles
non-ascii filename like as MinGW build.

Both Emacsen may fail to handle dropped files if I do drag-n-drop
files very quickly.  I confirmed Microsoft Photo application on
Windows 11.  And, once Emacs failed to handle drop event, it keeps
ignoring dropping files or text event.
