I can invetsigate this on Windows 2000, if I have the exact recipe and
other information I requested here. In particular, I need to know what
port of Diff was used. It could be, for example, that the specific port
used is incompatible with the way Emacs redirects standard handles, so
Emacs sees zero output, and reports no differences.

Why would the defaults be wrong on one particular version of Windows?
Could you please tell what defaults did you have in mind, and why did you
think they could be different on XP? Perhaps I could think about this
even without reproducing the original problem, if I only knew where to
look.
