This error is also reproducible with default fifo permissions 666 or anything 
else, and appears to be returned by gen_full_path_at() in syscalls.cc when 
called with a fifo: see attached strace extract - underlying Windows file is 
Windows shortcut x.fifo.lnk.

> Is there a known workaround? So far named fifos cannot be created somehow.

For now, create with default permissions then chmod:

$ mkfifo x.fifo && chmod 600 x.fifo
mode of 'x.fifo' changed from 0666 (rw-rw-rw-) to 0600 (rw-------)
$ ls -glo x.fifo{,.lnk}
prw------- 1 0 Aug  7 12:07 x.fifo
prw------- 1 0 Aug  7 12:07 x.fifo.lnk
$ readshortcut -af x.fifo
