I thought that r15287 was working because I completed a fight with a Shop Keeper and after the battle, Win count was down to 0 and the next phase was set correctly.
Then I fought another shop keeper and at the end of the battle, win count was still 3 and the phase was not incremented.
Could the difference be how the battle begins? The first battle with a shop keeper uses the usual shop choice adventure, but successive battles begin with choice 1045, Hostile Work Environment.

Well happy day. I logged in this morning, with r15294, to find the following:
It seems that my character won the Spelunking Sweepstakes yesterday.
Code:
Looking at item #8084...
Unknown item found: LOLmec statuette (8084, 688758713)

It's a reasonably small request, but it would be nice if when I open An Ancient Alter, it gave me a link to go there the way that mafia does with adventure.php zones, even though it is place.php. For reference, here's the html:

Something is incorrectly advancing spelunkyNextNoncombat. I didn't catch what triggered it, but at some point I noticed that the noncombat I just got (a shop in the mines) didn't match up with where mafia thinks I'm at (setting at 1 after that).
Fixed at least one case of that in 15319. It would not surprise me if there are more.
The in-game code for spelunky noncombats seems to be a bit strange, as can be verified by getting to Hell: it's advanced 1 every 3 combats, even if you don't hit the noncombat right away. As such, you can go 4 combats, spend your noncombat, go another 2, and get another combat.
edit: in fact, you can go six combats in hell and skip a noncombat phase.

I've been putting off doing this since I wanted to give others a chance to figure out how it worked and to support it here. We're in good shape, thanks to Darzil. 
I have some observations & suggestions, though. Perhaps I will fix them myself.
1) I am not convinced that the non combats always advance correctly. ChoiceManager says the following are Spelunky choices:
Some, but not all, of those have "leave" options.
1028 - A Shop
1036 - Idolatry
1040 - It's Lump. It's Lump
1041 - Spelunkerifice
So can choose to not buy anything (you may not have enough gold to buy anything!), you may choose to avoid the Idol, You may choose to break open the lump (you may be unable to, with no bomb), and you may choose to not sacrifice a buddy.
What determines if the counter increments?
Huh. 1040 is It's Lump. It's Lump. 1041 is the Sacrifice. The comment indicates that the Sacrifice doesn't count as a non-combat (fair enough, since you can do it any time, not just when the ghost waves, right?) but It's Lump is a timed non-combat. Why is that skipped? I see that revision 15319 does it intentionally. Is it possible that it only doesn't count if you take the "skip it" option? Or is it possible that it was a KoL bug which has now been fixed?
Perhaps I will experiment.
2) I see that the various spelunky quest equipment have been added to a new section in equipment.txt. I'm not happy with that, since it breaks how I use "checkitems": that command outputs something which (supposedly) looks just like equipment.txt, and if I do a "compare" of that section of the output and equipment.txt, I see exactly what items have been added but are not in equipment.txt. Except for spelunky items, which look like they are missing from equipment, but really have their own section. I don't see the point of that.
3) They are "quest" items, which normally means that they disappear when you ascend. However, these actually disappear when you end the Tale, right? Unfortunately, they do not disappear from the session tally. It would be nice if they did.
And I now have an elaboration of my observation of a month ago, when I posited that the leaderboards would be like the Grim Tales ones, but was corrected.
I think it's a shame that they didn't do that - or, at least, didn't adjust them to work like the old ascension leaderboards: one spot per character. As they are, right now, the Spelunky leaderboards are a circle-jerk between three players. I look at that, and do I think "damn, I should try really hard so that I can be up in the top ten with those three people?" I expect that SOME people think like that - and the people who whined hardest about the change to the ascension leaderboards indicated that OF COURSE that was how EVERYBODY thought - but, no. I look at that and think "I'll come back in 3, 6, 12, ... months when these people get bored of their mutual masturbation (or "competition", as they think of it) and will try then."
Unfortunately, they made these leaderboards have a monetary reward for placing on them - prizes that you can sell for (currently) substantially more than the price to play. Given that, there may very well never be motivation for the top players to ever "get tired" of "competing"; if they can spend a few hundred thousand a day to play in order to get an item to sell for a few million Meat, why stop?
Well, eventually, the community of people willing to pay that kind of price will dry up, and, perhaps they really will get bored of the cash cow that TPTB handed to them. Who knows? For now, I'll just go after factoids, and will come back next year, when there's a different fad.
I have some observations & suggestions, though. Perhaps I will fix them myself.1) I am not convinced that the non combats always advance correctly. ChoiceManager says the following are Spelunky choices:
Code:
// Choice 1027 is The End of the Tale of Spelunking
// Choice 1028 is A Shop

// Choice 1030 is It's a Trap! A Dart Trap.
// Choice 1031 is A Tombstone
// Choice 1032 is It's a Trap! A Tiki Trap.
// Choice 1033 is A Big Block of Ice
// Choice 1034 is A Landmine
// Choice 1035 is A Crate
// Choice 1036 is Idolatry
// Choice 1037 is It's a Trap! A Smashy Trap.
// Choice 1038 is A Wicked Web
// Choice 1039 is A Golden Chest
// Choice 1040 is It's Lump. It's Lump.

// choice 1045 is Hostile Work Environment1028 - A Shop
1036 - Idolatry
1040 - It's Lump. It's Lump

What determines if the counter increments?
Code:
// Sacrifice doesn't increment win count or counter
if ( choice != 1040 && choice != 1041 )
{
Preferences.resetToDefault( "spelunkyWinCount" );
// Shopkeeper doesn't increment the counter til you leave or fight
if ( !( choice == 1028 && decision < 5 ) )
{
Preferences.increment( "spelunkyNextNoncombat", 1 );
if ( Preferences.getInteger( "spelunkyNextNoncombat" ) > 3 )
{
Preferences.setInteger( "spelunkyNextNoncombat", 1 );
}
}

Things we learned from this:
- It would be nice if the turns were logged like this:
[2] The Mine
... with the turn number being the turn withing the mini-game.
- Similarly:
place.php?whichplace=spelunky&action=spelunky_camp
... should be:
[15] Rest in Base Camp
- It's Lump. It's Lump appeared after 2 wins. After one more win, another non-combat appeared. Conclusion: "It's Lump" is not a "timed" non-combat. It's a "random" non-combat.
We handle that correctly by not advancing/resetting the counters for it. However, things like Bale's relay script for the Spelunky zones (or the Wiki) should not claim that it is a timed non-combat. I'm pretty sure that in later runs I wanted to get a heavy pickaxe and went to the Snake Pit at the expected time and was surprises/frustrated to get a Crate.

Things we learned from this:
- It would be nice if the turns were logged like this:
[2] The Mine
... with the turn number being the turn withing the mini-game.
- Similarly:
place.php?whichplace=spelunky&action=spelunky_camp
... should be:
[15] Rest in Base Camp
- It's Lump. It's Lump appeared after 2 wins. After one more win, another non-combat appeared. Conclusion: "It's Lump" is not a "timed" non-combat. It's a "random" non-combat.
We handle that correctly by not advancing/resetting the counters for it. However, things like Bale's relay script for the Spelunky zones (or the Wiki) should not claim that it is a timed non-combat. I'm pretty sure that in later runs I wanted to get a heavy pickaxe and went to the Snake Pit at the expected time and was surprises/frustrated to get a Crate.
