Well, it's bizarre behaviour for sure, but in case it helps you might try the SHChangeNotify routine exposed in the pywin32 modules. It's one of those does-everything functions MS seems to love. The docs, such as they are, are here: http://tinyurl.com/f5olb (msdn link) but I suspect you'll have to poke around the web to find examples of the parameters.
