All it actually needs is this additional line after the mkdir:


    $tablespace_dir = TestLib::real_dir($tablespace_dir);


Explanation: TAP tests on msys need to run with the DTK perl, which 
understands msys virtualized paths. Postgres, however, does not 
understand such paths, so before you use such a value in, say, CREATE 
TABLESPACE, you need to translate it into a path on the underlying file 
system.
