It may make sense in win.c. I assumed that user32/tests/win.c is
related to user32/win.c. And since the affected functions are in
user32/winpos.c... maybe I should have named it user32/tests/winpos.c?
But I don't have a strong preference
If you really want it, would you like me to do the merge and resend
the patch? Or is it not necessary?

In this I disagree. Changing DeferWindowPos() without changing
EndDeferWindowPos() would make little sense, because the error
checking is moving from EDWP to DWP.
The special case of the window being destroyed between DWP and EDWP is
just a consequence of EDWP not having any error checking left.
You could have one patch that adds the check to DWP and another that
removes it from EDWP, but what's the point? The intermediate step will
not even pass the test case, it will fail at
TestDestroyDeferWindowPos().

So to fair you would have to split in: a) fix DWP + tess1+test2; b)
fix EDWP + test3.
