Could it be a privileges issue (e. g. no writing permission on a folder
in the file path)?

Also, it seems "almost OK": it raises an error but then displays "success",
but still an error (as the file is not created). Double-checking the Windows
behaviour regarding this code

  /* Create the file on disk. */
  w->rf = replace_file_start (fh_get_file_name (fh), "w", 0666,
                              &w->file, NULL);
  if (w->rf == NULL)
    {
      msg (ME, _("Error opening `%s' for writing as a system file: %s."),
           fh_get_file_name (fh), strerror (errno));
      goto error;
    }


should be helpful.
