I encountered this many times on windowz FAT32 in a non-root dir, but never on Linux. I suspect that it was/is one of their "Features". The said "Feature" still was there when using ntfs in XP if I remember correctly.
Perhaps it's just because Windows Explorer doesn't deal well with many files. Try to unpack some open source archive of some distributor that had to make their sources open, some 1G archive, and see how it goes. Not recommended :p.
Then when you've unpacked it, deleting it takes a few years as well. So imposing a filesystem limit may just have been a way to ensure that their user interface limit is not quickly reached, I don't know.
