test_cmp is intended to produce diff output for human consumption. The input in one instance in t9300-fast-import.sh are binary files, however. Use test_cmp_bin to compare the files. This was noticed because on Windows we have a special implementation of test_cmp in pure bash code (to ignore differences due to intermittent CR in actual output), and bash runs into an infinite loop due to the binary nature of the input.

I did remember that there was talk about it, but missed that we actually implemented it.
