Given Jesse's description of the systems he's seen this on, I suspect
we'll be very lucky if we pin that down, unless it is something as
simple as win2k3+administrator+command line (which I'll try to test
shortly) - but that doesn't tally with the occasional cases of this I
still hear about (usually from our poker-playing users) who are using
the installer and Vista or XP as a general rule.
The other thing to bear in mind is that the entire OS and much of the
surrounding software (such as AV) is closed source, so we have no idea
what any of it is doing under the hood, or how it may have changed
from version to version.
