I'm forwarding requests from XP SP3 across dhcrelay no problem
(FreeBSD 7.1 base OS, comparable to 1.2.3-RC1 - if you're running
1.2.2 or earlier it might be a difference in versions). One of my test
systems, a pretty bare install, everything default.

Since Microsoft has basically made brokenness a standard and they're
90+% of systems whether you like it or not, if dhcrelay and dhcpd can
be modified to accommodate this it would probably be good to do so.
It's not a configuration option as far as I can see, but I could be
missing something. That's not to say someone is going to do the work,
but if you provide patches, they would likely be accepted.
