Ok, well I'm still mystified too, but here's a few other thoughts.

Might be worth checking what is between the controller and the windows 
machine network wise in case there's some proxying or something.  Would 
still be very strange behaviour for a proxy to introduce though.

I notice you have 

gather_facts: false 

might be worth setting that to true and running with -v just to see if the 
facts that get gathered tally with what you expect about the windows 
machine.

Something else that might show a bit more information is if you set 

ANSIBLE_KEEP_REMOTE_FILES=1

before running your playbook, it won't remove the files transferred to the 
remote machine.  From memory you'll need -vvvv to see the location where 
the files are transferred to.
You can then at least see what powershell is being run, which might help 
figure out what is going on.

Hope this helps,

Jon
