These don't appear to be the sort of failures I'd expect to arise from
updating to msgcat 1.5.0.  Are these regressions?  With what cause?
Do `make test` runs on Windows routinely have non-zero failing tests?
Can we do something about that?

If nothing else, and if not already done, get these test failures
recorded in the right SF Tracker categories.
