Hmm... that makes sense, but I'm not sure how it applies to this particular bug.  This particular test depends on a LayoutTestController method that is not implemented on Windows.  Without this method, I wouldn't expect the test to provide any additional code coverage.  Is the idea to run the test just in case it happens to provide additional code coverage unrelated to the main functionality that it's meant to test?
