This seems to be caused by a bug in MingW's fpclassify():

http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=56404
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=56397

So far I haven't found anything in the mingw bug database relating to this

If we fix this, we should probably restore the commented-out test as well.

Bug also seems to exist in mingw-w64 (which is apparently the maintained version of mingw)

Resolution: fixed
Status: newclosed

"fixed" by disabling the tests in changeset c368462. Properly trying to fix all broken systems is a rabbit-hole that goes too deep; for example iOS even sets a hardware flag on the FPU to treat denormalised floating-point numbers as zero. There may be more OS/CPU combinations that do similarly fubar things. Our industry's madness knows no limits.
