Yup.  So it was trying to use this little hack:

        /* Win32 has strncoll(), so use it to avoid copying */
        return _strncoll(arg1, arg2, Min(len1, len2));

which does not actually do what's desired, if the strings are of
different length.  That's what we get for focusing on the hard case
and not testing the easy case ;-)

I've committed a fix.
