We think the reason is that the ASCII variant of Win32's GetLastError is getting called rather than the UTF16 Unicode variant. However the result is still decoded into String as UTF16, then the result is printed using 8-bit ASCII IO. The result is missing every other character from the error string. A first guess is that it's most likely to be an accidental consequence of the -DUNICODE change from a couple days ago. I've not run the code or reproduced the symptom so I cannot give any more details.
