Research direction

Reproduce on Windows with energy-saving mode enabled, a recording in progress, and fast-forward held while the ISO drive spins up. Compare the behavior with issue #2675 and investigate why BizHawk closes without output; done means the emulator remains open and recording continues through the delayed disk access.
