Sure. Think we've even done this before (also, prevents developers needing to remember to use pg_*). The reason I think it was avoided for select(), in preference for a thread to invoke the socket op during the signal/APC, was a fear that perhaps the Windows Sockets internals could get mashed. AFAICS, the discussion Magnus had with the Microsoft guys (and, from memory, those I've had with Magnus off-list) suggests this isn't true. If mashing the internals is still a possibility, then clearly the patch I've submitted might do more harm than good. (Magnus, can you confirm?) If so, I'll submit a patch for select/recv/send over the weekend, which will also remove the recent fixes for pgstat.
