It's clear enough, just took a while before I could look into this. I found out it's due to a bug in Python:
http://bugs.python.org/issue1616979
It seems to be fixed in their development version already, but not in the latest release. Will check on how to get this fix in Blender.

Doesn't seem like python is coming out with a new version very soon, so just applied the fix manually in our version for now. For builders, the lib/windows directory has to be updated to ensure to get this fix. Thanks for the report, closing.
