To recap a bit, here is a very simplified view of the test:

A. path is opened for writing (and then closed)
B. its st_mtime is recorded in old_mtime
C. path is opened again for writing (and closed)
D. assert `path's current mtime` >= old_mtime

Whatever the details of Windows filesystem timestamps, it should be a 
no-brainer that the assertion passes :-) But it fails by some nanoseconds on 
some Windows buildbots (not all):
