Oh, now I remember that you filled that issue because I told you that
the MS Terminal team was very responsive.
Too bad indeed. Maintainers are rejecting patches saying "Emacs just
neeeds to support ConPTY so the hack you are submitting is not
necessary." :-/
OTOH, MSYS2 mintty (and probably upstream Cygwin's too) now support
ConPTY. As that is a console emulator probably it doesn't care about the
encoding issue?
