After what you suggest:

1. dxc6+ Ke6 2. Kd4 f6 3. Ke3 Ke7 4. Kf2 Ke6 5. Kg3 Ke7
6. Kh4 Ke6 7. g4 hxg4 8. hxg4 fxg4 9. Kxg4

[d]8/2n5/p1P1kpp1/P1P5/5PK1/5B2/8/8 b - - 0 1

It gets trickier, so perhaps a more interesting question is, how much time an engine takes to find the Kh4+g4 plan?
A tricky line, just shows there are many quirks in endgames :)
