Yes, you've said so already and I'm providing some ideas on how to debug
what's exactly happening for you and why. This is not a known problem and
libcurl is used by a fair amount of users on a large amount of platforms,
including Windows.

The example should work *EXACTLY* as written, and there is to my knowledge no
way to build libcurl or set specific options that would destroy it to that
degree.

It doesn't matter if it was built to use async name resolves or not, the
example should still work. The only thing asynch name resolves brings to this
specific case is that it'll cause the maxfd == -1 case to occur while libcurl
built to do sync resolves will not return that.

That's exactly what I'm saying and in fact already did say!
