There's a _very_ simple reason for that:

To the best of my knowledge none of the core developers [those who hack
the .dll code routinely] have Windows ME machines.

No machine, no ability to reproduce.

No reproduce, no fix :].


Your options:
* Debug it yourself. (there are many explanatory emails on how to build
&& install a debug cygwin).
* Debug && Fix it yourself (We will help to some extent - and there are
many explanatory emails on how to configure && edit the cygwin source in
the 3 relevant email lists)
* Lend || Donate a machine with WinME to a core developer for however
long needed for them to identify and fix the problem. (I live in Sydney
BTW).
* Wait.
