Yes. But (a) I don't think this report is about MS-Windows, and (b) I
haven't seen a complete reproduction recipe to try this on MS-Windows
and see how Emacs behaves there. In general, on MS-Windows we do
internally something that closely emulates the ownership test, but it
cannot be 100% compatible for obvious reasons.
In addition, I believe the OP claims that the algorithm we use to
decide (on X) when to return nil is flawed, or at least ruins his use
case. I don't think I succeed to understand the rationale for that
claim, FWIW.
