Now I think that this happens because H: is a network drive that is
marked as "available offline". The problem goes away if I reconnect to
the company network, and it comes back when I go offline again.

I traced this to acl_get_file() in w32.c where GetLastError() returns
50, i.e. ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED.

I hope this helps.
