Afaik the test passes on Windows everything but Nvidia(well, it passes on Intel according to your observations, and I know it passes on my ATI box). I tried to understand the Nvidia failure, as far as I know the depth clamp state just doesn't do anything on this card. A game that depends on the behavior tested by the test is Prince of Persia 3D, a ddraw/d3d7 game. I could not test this game on my Windows 7 machine(s), it failed to install.

Any decent explanation why the test fails on Nvidia on Windows, or clear proof that the driver is broken(e.g. POP3D doesn't render properly) would be very welcome.

We don't have card-specific behavior in wined3d. wined3d implements the behavior according to what the test says is correct. I suspect the Intel driver used to run the failing Linux test does not implement GL_NV_depth_clamp or GL_ARB_depth_clamp, or implements it incorrectly.
