Yes, I've experienced the exact same problem.  I wasn't sure if it was
caused by my cygwin rcs or my linux rcs (I transport the files between two
boxes).  Luckily, I have lots of backups, but I've had to rebuild some files
by hand.

I just tried your test and it is repeatable.  I haven't debugged it yet.
I'm using only binary mounts.
