I'm not sure if they are failing to block or if they are blocking what is being opened(and not the original console). That is, do I need to not open and simply close stdout?
Yes, I see. It won't work because the two libraries are using different C standard libraries, so, SDLImage can't see that the FD was dup'd, and the DM C library most likely doesn't also dup/close the Windows handle.
I'm not sure how to do this on Windows, then; maybe someone with more experience would know. Windows has DuplicateHandle, but no equivalent for dup2 that I know of, which would be needed to restore stdin using this method.
