I would ask you ... are you SURE you aren't using any plugins on Windows?
Because the SPAKE plugin is built on Windows (the OTP plugin isn't, it
seems, but it seems that is only for the KDC side).  You may not be using
SPAKE now but perhaps in the future?  Something to think about.

The problem is there are no easy answers for what is _supposed_ to happen
in weird corner cases.
