 I looked up SetUnhandledExceptionFilter on Microsoft's site again.  It is
pretty clear that a single call should be sufficient for the whole process,
and thus it doesn't matter whether the call is repeated here or not.  On the
other hand, it appeared to be broken in some now ancient MS release.

In the interest of backward compatibility, I'd be inclined to leave it the
way it is, eventhough I agree it's inconsistent.

By the way, I noticed that if a thread is added to the thread table
using CreateThread, and incremental GC is enabled,
SetUnhandledExceptionFilter() never gets called for the thread (as it
does if the thread is registered via DLL_THREAD_ATTACH)...

Is this the way it is supposed to work?
