I'll see if I can get the mingw-w64 developers to shed some light on what's going awry.

Liu Hao (lh_mouse) has provided the following explanation: 
It's because `__emutls_get_address()` returns two distinct values in c
+onsecutive calls with the same
descriptor in the same thread, so the second reference to the thread l
+ocal
`__gmpfr_default_fp_bit_precision` (defined in 'set_dfl_prec.c') gets 
+a fresh object with its
default value.

The "second reference" is the mpfr_get_default() call made in foo().
He then followed that up with: 
Looks like emutls could not set the thread-specific value for 'foreign
+ threads' (those not created
by mcfgthread). Although this is by design, I do think the MPFR expect
+ation should be reasonably
supported. I will fix this in a couple of days.

Here endeth this soliloquy ;-)
