It turns out Itamar has submitted the same bug:

Anyway, bug I'm trying to submit reads:

Summary: 
    connectionFailed might not get called

Description:
    On Win32, connecting to a closed port doesn't fail immediately, but
    instead only calls connectionFailed after timing out.  However, timeouts
    are optional, so it is possible it will never be called.

    For the default (select) reactor, the problem is winsock's select
    reports failed connections as "exceptional", rather than as
    readable/writeable, and Twisted ignores exceptional socket events.

    Perhaps if platform is win32, do something like:

    def win32select(reads, writes, ignored, timeout=None):
        """Kludge around winsock's select() function"""
        r, w, e = select.select(reads, writes, reads, timeout)
        return r+e, w, []
    select = win32select
