I have this nagging feeling that you have exposed a bug in avrdude. I
suspect that you are using avrdude on windows that avrdude is opening
the binary file for reading using

  fopen (file, "r");

when it should be using

  fopen (file, "rb");

If memory serves, "r" and "rb" are the same on most Unix systems, but
have a subtle difference on Windows (end-of-line translation?). Any
windows experts care to comment on this?
