What did you do?

1. clone https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_go/tree/2169c127ab3791342dedb7f479151d01ca412584
2. download Bazel 0.25.0rc3 or newer

What did you expect to see?

The test to pass.

It does with --noincompatible_windows_native_test_wrapper (the default):

c:\src\bazel-releases\0.25.0\rc3\bazel.exe test --noincompatible_windows_native_test_wrapper //:authors_sorted_test --test_output=errors
(...)
//:authors_sorted_test                                                   PASSED in 2.2s

What did you see instead?

The test failed:

c:\src\bazel-releases\0.25.0\rc3\bazel.exe test --incompatible_windows_native_test_wrapper //:authors_sorted_test --test_output=errors
(...)
