Update:
In the report mentioned earlier, the same MS person now said that an
update
of the universal CRT will probably be rolled out at around the same time
as the "anniversary update" of Windows 10 this summer. After that, I
expect
we can use VS 2015 without further problems.
In the mean time, I have modified the SCons build system so that you can
select the version of Visual Studio to use. The current default is
MSVC_VERSION=12.0
which selects VS 2013 (better don't try to understand their numbering).
The binaries created that way pass all the currently available tests,
including the ones I explicitly added to catch the text pipe CRT bug.
Those tests shove large amounts of data through both text and (all types
of) binary pipes, and currently do so without a hitch.

Good that you tracked this down, but as you say, we still have the
rumored issue with binary data we need to sort out.
Regarding Microsoft (by analogy):

Keep talking to myself...
The MS feedback site has those entries
https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/Feedback/Details/1902345
https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/Feedback/Details/2419638
both of which seem to describe incarnations of our problem.
In the first one, a MS person added a comment saying:
We have fixed this bug; the fix will be present in an upcoming
update to the Universal CRT.
So all hope is not lost.
