Follow-up Comment #1:

For the mentioned tests, there seems to be a workaround for MS Windows:

https://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/file/e79999c5d782/test/publish/publish.tst#l25


if (ispc () || ! __have_feature__ ("OSMESA"))
     try
       graphics_toolkit ("gnuplot");
     catch
       ## The system doesn't support OSMESA or gnuplot for drawing hidden
       ## figures.  Just return and have test marked as passing.
       return;
     end_try_catch
   endif


Does your build support "gnuplot"?  As on MS Windows "ispc()" should always be
"1", it might only be triggered if "gnuplot" is available and used.  What
happens, if you comment out the respective line.  Which "graphics_toolkit()"
is in use and what are the "available_graphic_toolskits()"?

Is "gnuplot" in combination with 


set (0, "defaultfigurevisible", "off");


working on MS Windows?

Finally, does this happen with CLI as well, or where do you run the
test-suite?

End of the week I can look into this issue myself.
