this discussion is basically pretty useless... it is 100% obvious that this is a BUG !! (I spent 20+ years developing system-level software, so yes, I know what I'm talking about). 

I've crossed so many people having this issue, and have done so many tests myself, that there's absolutely nothing to discuss, and all the "pseudo-smarties" here around that come up with explanations or suggest that it might be due to this or that setting, are just wrong... there is a bug in MS' code, and as long as no one from MS gets to reach one of the people who really develop this (i.e. those who have written the code, or those who maintain it), there is ZERO chance for improvement !
