I honestly don't think you can expect tests to do anything meaningful if you are doing something else at the same time in the environment they run in. Maybe that can work for a few very well isolated things, but not for `user32`, and definitely not for `user32:win` / `user32:msg`.

Even if we consider it a feature we can only at best skip tests, and the unaware user would get a seemingly successful test result, and be happy with it when most tests would have been skipped.
