I agree. *Only* 6 failures on mingw is an achievement!

Would you mind marking them as expected failures? This would have the effect
that occasional testers like me don't report these failures again, and that
the CI on mingw does not count them as failures either. It goes like this:

1) Import the module 'test-xfail' from Gnulib.

2) Add these lines to tp/tests/Makefile.am or tp/tests/Makefile.onetst:

# Expected test failures.
XFAIL_TESTS =
if OS_IS_NATIVE_WINDOWS
XFAIL_TESTS += \
  test_scripts/formatting_split_nocopying_split_dev_null.sh \
  test_scripts/formatting_cpp_lines.sh \
  test_scripts/formatting_js_license_reuse_output_file.sh \
  test_scripts/formatting_reuse_macro_expand_file.sh \
  test_scripts/encoded_verbatiminclude_names_latin1_html_explicit_encoding.sh \
  test_scripts/encoded_verbatiminclude_names_latin1_explicit_encoding_rawtext.sh
endif
