If it fails with MS RC, it's your problem, by definition. MS RC is
*always* correct, even when it's wrong, because windres is supposed to
be MS RC compatible, meaning it should have all the same bugs too.

No. We are volunteers, you can be too. Windres has a testsuite for
exactly this purpose. Learn how to write a testcase for it, and
submit an appropriate (i.e. ready-to-apply-and-commit) patch that adds
it. The test case must run and pass with MS RC before we will accept
it. Once the test case is in place to demonstrate (1) a correct RC
file and (2) the correct compiled file, then submit a patch in proper
format that changes windres to make the test case pass.
That's what the rest of us do, there's no reason for us to treat you
differently.
