We certainly should rely on the Windows behavior. The next question then is: What exactly *is* "the Windows behavior". Windows is not just inconsistent across versions, but apparently so even within a single version. IIUC, GetFileAttributes and FindFirstFile both claim that NUL exists, whereas GetFileAttributesEx claims that it doesn't exist, all in a single version, and all is Windows API. Please understand that Python 2.4 *also* adheres to Windows behavior.
