Thanks very much for looking into this!

I have the vague idea that this problem started showing up (more?) when 
the CI VM was upgraded from Windows Server 2022 to Windows Server 2025,

I think this is just the difference between the two calls: CloseHandle

Doesn't really explain whats wrong with the handle, though.
