That doesn't mean it isn't "done", that means it has a bug.

Yes, report another bug for synchronise and attach the test project 
there.  I don't see a reason why it should be in the repo.

As I've said in the bug report, I call 
g_main_context_wakeup(g_main_context_default) myself to wake up the 
loop.  This works perfectly, but is obviously suboptimal, since it need 
to be inside an ifdef.
