Really? I thought this only applies to pipes.
I just tried to do the following with Image4.png being a binary file:
cat Image4.png | cat >test2.txt
Like one would expect I get
michael AT NARGOTHROND:/mnt/f/home/michael >cat Image4.png | cat
>test2.txt
Broken pipe
michael AT NARGOTHROND:/mnt/f/home/michael >l
-rw-r--r-- 1 michael Kein 17035 Sep 14 02:27 Image4.png
-rw-r--r-- 1 michael Kein 3879 Sep 14 05:08 test2.txt
But when I do cat Image4.png >test2.txt I get
michael AT NARGOTHROND:/mnt/f/home/michael >cat Image4.png >test2.txt
michael AT NARGOTHROND:/mnt/f/home/michael >l
-rw-r--r-- 1 michael Kein 17035 Sep 14 02:27 Image4.png

So are you sure?
mount says
michael AT NARGOTHROND:/mnt/f/home/michael >mount
