It's been failing "quite a while" on Win98SE too, in the same way.  I
believe MarkH knows (or should know) about it already, but he's on vacation
now:

test_urllib2 is also failing on Win98SE, and that's more recent:

test_bsddb3 is in such bad shape on Win98SE now I don't know where to begin.

The compiler warnings about mixing signed and unsigned in comparisons in
_sre.c also persist.

Other than that, everything's great.
