Try setting the 'backupcopy' option to "yes".
I thought Vim did copy the streams, but I suppose this doesn't work when
you edit one specific stream. If you want to look at it: function
copy_infostreams() in src/os_win32.c
NTFS streams are mostly restricted to MS-Windows applications, and
rarely used. I don't think it's a good idea to support them in Vim
directly.
