Hm. This failure presumably started with commit f13ea95f9, which
introduced use of command_like() in the pg_ctl TAP test; but that
didn't go in until 2017-06-28. Was jacana not running in the
interim?

Anyway, if we believe that it broke with f13ea95f9, hen it's plausible
that CMD.EXE has been sharing pg_ctl's stdout/stderr all along, and we
just had not noticed before. Could you check what happens if we
change the bInheritHandles parameter as I suggested upthread?
