I see the same thing on my Windows 2000 system (problem confirmed).
Setting LFN=n does not fix it.

So far testing has shown XP to behave almost exactly bug for bug 
identical to Windows 2000 and completely differently than the Win 
9x family.

I'll add it to my (long) list of things to look at.  Maybe someone else
will find a fix first ...  It appears the workaround is to avoid 
piping Win32 program output under DJGPP bash..
