It's possible this is a bug that has been fixed recently... I've seen 
commit messages talking about improving file attribute handling on 
windows. You might give the current development version a try. But 
beware: Unless the developers release something new, you're running a 
real development version - everything from no problems to not even 
possible to compile, with all sorts of misbehaviour in between, can 
happen!
