You did not say you built it yourself.  The compression bug is not in
gnucash but one of the libraries, whether on Windows that means you
might have built the latest gnucash but an earlier version of the
library I do not know.  To confirm whether it is this issue try saving
the file in uncompressed xml (Preferences > General > and clear
Compress Files) then see if you can open it in windows.  If you can
then it is the compression bug.
