Yes, it seems you got them right. Today I've received the following message:

Hello Alexei,
They reproduced the problem and a bug report was filed on the issue.
Thanks,

So it is really very broken... :-( Today I've modified wincap.cc so that it 
uses GetNativeSystemInfo instead of IsWow64Process for determining 
environment details so that I can set has_working_copy_on_write to false 
only for Itanium-based machines (not for x86_64). Will you apply the patch 
if I provide it?

With best regards, Alex Alexandrov.  E-mail: alex1_alexandrov2 AT fromru3 DOT com4
