Until the next day when they had the realisation that MSDN windows API docs are garbage, tried the supposedly not-working flag and it actually did work.

This now leaves us with an uncomfortable question: is the real bug in the docs, or the API implementation? If it's the latter, it's at risk of being patched out since the behavior doesn't match the docs.

Edit: did a grammar.
