This is a known issue, and, as far as I can tell, has been true in
IPython for at least some years, and possibly always. I reproduced it
with 0.10.2 just now, and something like it is referenced in the 0.9
docs.
See
https://github.com/ipython/ipython/issues/378
and
http://ipython.org/ipython-doc/dev/interactive/reference.html#caution-for-windows-users
IPython has exactly zero Windows users on the dev team, so this kind
of unpleasantness tends to survive longer than it should. If someone
who actually uses Windows can step up and improve the situation, we
would be exceedingly grateful.
