As the subject says: does it?

It looks like it doesn't, but GDB won't disclose it to me:

  (gdb) set target-async on
  (gdb) show target-async
  Controlling the inferior in asynchronous mode is on.

Everything looks good, but:

  (gdb) r& -Q
  Starting program: D:\gnu\bzr\emacs\trunk\src/./oo/i386/emacs.exe & -Q
  [New Thread 3904.0x17e4]
  [New Thread 3904.0x11a8]

And it waits, instead of showing the prompt, as the manual promised.

What am I missing?

You should use:
(gdb) r -Q &

I find it is the same syntax such as in shell.

Thanks, I think the manual should be improved in this regard.

Anyway, if I use "r -Q &", GDB says that asynchronous execution is not
supported on this platform.  Is that expected?

Yes.  The Windows port of gdbserver does support it though (because it's
really the "remote" target that supports it).
