Hmm, that's rather old.  I suggest upgrading to a more-recent
version before investigating further.  The current version is 8.7.

Also, you might try reporting the bug to whoever built it on Windows
rather than to bug-coreutils, as it could well be a property
of the Windows port rather than a bug in coreutils itself.
