This is probably NOT common but just to make sure, are you using the default Virtual File Driver (VFD) when reading on windows? If not, that could be your problem. This is something you would control via file access property lists. H5Pset_fapl... or some such call.
For example, I had code developed on linux that set the stdio VFD by fiat. When it ran on Windows, that meant it was using stdio VFD there too. But the stdio VFD was really intended for linux. It *should* work fine on windows but I didn't want to chance it. So, I added #if _WIN32 compilation logic to NOT set VFD when on windows.
