Issue reported by Dmitry Sokolov and confirmed with Windows 7 WAIK when following the steps from technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd799303.aspx

This is actually a problem I had seen before, and for which a simple workaround is to replug the drive so that the NTFS records are updated. Dmitry indicates that using an updated MBR should also be able to fix the issue, and provided such a boot record. Will have to check if one of the existing ms-sys MBRs can be made to work, or if we really have to use a new one.

Unfortunately, it seems that simply trying to remount the volume is erratic at best and cannot be used as a workaround.
