surely logic dictates; windows partition/formatting creates a filesystem to the correct standard, grub4dos is happy with this. dmraid/gparted/ntfs-3g/mkfs.ntfs creates a filesystem that isnt the same in some way, if grub4dos doesn't like it.
if windows and ubuntu is happy with the latter it seems to indicate it is more tolerant of a 'difference', not that grub4dos is faulty.
