Yeah.
I still would like to have it confirmed that this is actually an XP
fault, and not something else in your environment. To that end, I've
bugged Dave to run some builds on his XP VM (since it apparently works
fine on my XP x64 machine).

identical issue on my previous XP/x386 box. It would be very strange if
somehow two environments got polluted like this.
