In this case it is a documented feature:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/fileio/base/createfile.asp
Go down near the bottom to the header "Directories", and it says "An application
cannot create a directory with CreateFile; it must call CreateDirectory or
CreateDirectoryEx to create a directory."

And indeed, running on WinNT, if there is no such directory, this call sets the
LastError to ERROR_INVALID_NAME. I have seen another program that expects that
and then makes a call to create the directory.
