Thank you for the report.

In the time since your bug report, sed's testsuite has
been greatly improved, and the problematic file (runtest)
has been completely removed:
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/sed.git/commit/?id=7daa26d068e5e84eed1212e203c2ce79c074604c

I've just tested the latest git revision on cygwin
and the auxiliary test files (get-mb-cur-max.exe and test-mbrtowc.exe)
are executed correctly.

As such I'm closing this bug report.
