No, I'm using stock ftp.gnu.org binaries. Meanwhile I've puzzled out what caused my problem. w32-get-true-file-attributes now defaults to t! Apparently that change (made on 2002-04-28 according to ChangeLog) has only now trickled into the released sources. That's quite a relief as the "fix" is just one setq away. Sorry for the noise.
