I agree that the *wait* has to go through condition_variable.c, but it doesn't
seem right that creation of the WES needs to go through condition_variable.c.

The only thing that ConditionVariableEventSleep() seems to require is that the
WES is waiting for MyLatch. You don't even need a separate WES for that, the
already existing WES should suffice.
