On MS-Windows, the separate thread runs the GUI input message pump.

You should consider which thread gets the signals (or their
equivalents). Emacs currently assumes its the main thread, and that's
what you see in sysdep.c. But some other traces of this assumption
are elsewhere, so you should carefully review any code that is related
to signals.
Does the text-mode session on NS use SIGINT for C-g?
(Caveat: I know nothing about NS.)
