A program should never fail in such way. It seems the program is NOT
validating properly its input and it is probably expecting the
organization of the data as used by Microsoft Visual Studio 2010.
As it fails probably you can not fully trust its output
for program built from other compilers.

It seems Cygwin tools disagree with such interpretation

As bash.exe is working fine, I doubt it is using a invalid structure.
