Hmm,
The numbering is OK, it should be 1, if your windows partition is the
1st primary one.
The only thing I can think of, is that I'm running on intel, and
you're running on amd apparently. I imagine the binaries are
different, but beyond that the versions seem OK [1] [2]. But that's
my last desperate guess. Maybe someone else might try to provide
input for either processor, and confirm is things work for him/her. I
can just confirm things work for me with the work around indicated...
