I'll report this to MinGW-W64 soon, though even if/when they fix
the issue on their side, I'd still like to have a workaround in
Git to be able to use older MinGW-W64 versions that didn't
receive a fix.

Workarounds do not have to be ugly and full of #ifdef's.

v1 does exactly this.

Workaround is "just don't pass -DNOGDI on MinGW-W64 if you want
MsgWaitForMultipleObjects", there's nothing to send to gnulib.
After all, was there a strong reason why Git started passing it?
What is there was no option to disable part of windows.h?
