SWT should emulate it on platforms which don't support it. Note that this might be simply a matter of "bouncing the thumb" of a regular (non-indeterminate) progress indicator.

Yes! +1

And will this bit be a 'hint' that can be ignored if the platform 
provides no support for it?
Or will SWT provide emulation on these platforms?

No.
