Besides, to my knowledge, the nōn-underscore versions will “always” be provided by Microsoft for POSIX conformance, they just would “like” programmers to not use them for new (== windows-specific) code, that’s why the warnings (I imagine).
offhand, I recall that the Unix-style permissions don't map to Windows - no group- and other-bits) so chmod won't match (though the owner bits "work"). It's stuff like that, not as obvious.
