EPILOGUE
Here's the exact point of the crash (cued to 5 seconds prior): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdrRoSdBM5M&t=9778s
The counter overflows/resets, everything wraps around, the system counts 6 more seconds, then Windows 95 freezes.
The mouse cursor still seems to work, but the message pump seems to have frozen, to the extent that End Task itself is unresponsive, and a second CTRL-ALT-DEL is needed to reset the machine.

Interesting addition: the machine angrily beeps at you from the internal PC speaker if you move the mouse after it's hung: https://twitter.com/Foone/status/1431711101624852482
