On a hunch, I did two things:

  . created a file tp/tests/input_file_names_recoded_stamp.txt with
    the text FAILED in it;
  . made the change below in tp/Texinfo/Translations.pm.

Then running a single test with

  $ ./run_parser_all.sh -dir contents contents_at_begin

succeeded.  Will now try running more tests with these tricks.

Here's the diff to Translations.pm, it is AFAIU needed because the
Windows locale names don't follow the Posix patterns.  Instead, they
are 3-letter names, like "ENU" for en_US, "FRA" for fr_FR, etc.  The
diff below should be obviously conditioned by this being MS-Windows.
