Without any further investigation, I'd say that's part of it. However, aside from the MSW program cmd.exe (which obviously doesn't use NTVDM-DOS's FindFirst) the NTVDM-COMMAND program (which at least partly works as V86-mode DOS program) does find the devices too. I guess it might not use the NTVDM-DOS interfaces internally and hence finds the devices. This would indicate NTVDM-DOS's FindFirst and FindNext are broken (incompatible) in some way as you suggested. I didn't get into the specifics earlier 'cause I didn't think it was necessary.
