No, it was a real (and quite old) bug in Emacs on MS-Windows: the
behavior when Emacs was killed by its parent process (in particular, a
parent Emacs process) neglected to account for the fact that the
Windows equivalent of a signal handler invoked by the kill message was
run by the OS in a separate thread.

So we are lucky that this bug was reported, because now that
fundamental problem is fixed in Emacs.
