No, that's incorrect: @contrib_excludes stops the MSVC stuff from trying
to *build* in that directory, which is fine because there's nothing to
build. It doesn't prevent running the test case. See eg.
http://buildfarm.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/show_stage_log.pl?nm=thrips&dt=2016-05-06%2015%3A37%3A27&stg=testmodules-install-check-C
where the test_extensions test does get run even though it's in
@contrib_excludes.

In any case, reverting the patch would mean no Windows testing, so
your argument doesn't seem to have much force even if it were true?
