I believe I see why this is (or isn't) happening. The animals
currently running xversion tests are copperhead, crake, drongo,
and fairywren. copperhead is using the makefiles while the others
are using meson. And I find this in
src/test/modules/test_pg_dump/meson.build (from 3f0e786cc):
# doesn't delete its user
'runningcheck': false,
So the meson animals are not running the test that sets up the
problematic data.
I think we should remove the above, since (a) the reason to have
it is gone, and (b) it seems really bad that the set of tests
run by meson is different from that run by the makefiles.
However, once we do that, those other three animals will presumably go
red, greatly complicating detection of any Windows-specific problems.
So I'm inclined to not do it till just before we intend to commit
a fix for the underlying problem. (Enough before that we can confirm
that they do go red.)
Speaking of which ...

... were you going to look at it? I can take a whack if it's
too far down your priority list.
