Please confirm or deny that this is a real bug, as its getting in
the way of a genuine project. How should I proceed?
I'm working on a 64-bit Windows port of the following.

Here's the 32-bit Windows port.

Among other things I'm using D to implement Icon's coexpressions
portably using core.thread.Fiber which works fine at 32 bits.
They are implemented using pthreads on other platforms, though
historically there used to be a platform dependent assembly code
context switch, close to the way that core.thread.Fiber is
implemented. The Fiber implementation is 20 times faster at 32
bits.
