Problems with unit tests

I am using test-harness.php (PHP TAP Test Harness 1_0_0_BETA) and test-more.php to write some unit tests for several libraries of functions. These tests need to run from a MS-Windows CLI so they can be run on our desktops for now and can be added to the automated build process later. I have written my first tests using test-more.php to generate TAP compliant results, and they work as expected (see below - yes, both tests should fail). But when I run them with test-harness.php, the reported results are wrong (also below). The harness reports all tests passed, even if they didn't. After doing some digging, I found Bug #44908, which seems to be related. It appears the interpreter on MS-Windows is not creating the pipe file for STDOUT, so the harness never sees the results from the actual tests. I also tried using the Perl Test::Harness to run the scripts and get the same error message there. Both harnesses appear to ignore the error count returned as the process exit value as well. But I am not sure if that is true or they just never saw it. Has any workaround been identified for this problem? Is there another mailing list that might be a more appropriate forum for this issue?
