I wasn't aware this is even supported.  It is certainly not
used/tested enough to be recommended for general use.  We don't
consistently use the TCHAR type or any other types that magically
switch to wchar_t under UNICODE compilation, and freely mix text
strings returned from Windows APIs with plain `char *' pointers and
strings.  To get Emacs support the Unicode Windows APIs will take a
major overhaul of the code.

What did you expect to get with the -D_UNICODE switch that you don't
get without it?
