Description

### Describe the bug, including details regarding any error messages, version, and platform.

In conda-forge, I'm seeing hangs in all windows jobs for arrow v22+; at first I thought this was some flake, but they've been quite consistently reproducible (though also not 100%? 🤔). Interestingly, v21 does not seem affected. I don't really have more logs than that the test just never finishes, and eventually gets killed by the timeout (note the difference in timestamps).

Research direction

Start by reproducing arrow-flight-test on Windows for Arrow v22+ through the conda-forge jobs, then compare its behavior with v21 and the preceding arrow-flight-internals-test. Done means the Windows test completes reliably without hanging or timing out, with the failure cause identified and covered by the relevant test run.
