Having just filed my fourth "MSVC2012 is busted" bug since we dropped support for 2010 a few weeks ago, I'm wondering what the point of even supporting 2012 is? Are there any licensing/OS support/etc advantages to keeping it around vs. just leaving 2013 as our only supported compiler? Because there's certainly a non-zero cost to supporting it at this point.
The issue for me is that there were multiple patches required to support VS2013 in the first place, and AFAIK these have not been ported to older gecko versions. So I don't believe that you can compile esr31 with VS2013.
It would be much easier to keep it running if there was at least one builder that ran VS2012 that failed when someone checks in a compile that breaks it. The non-zero cost is mostly fixing there regressions, and would be much lower cost if they were caught earlier.
