I don't think so. This really sounds like a Unix-specific problem (in
that only Unix allows the start condition which leads to the file
corruption) and it's clearer to have a Unix-specific solution.
Especially since we try avoiding the fd-level interface on Windows
altogether. (I'm not saying that avoidance saves us from the problem,
since our dependency libraries might use it, but it does give us a
reason to avoid making fd-level calls on Windows in order to solve a
non-problem.)
