It should be transparent to Emacs, but perhaps the OS/OneDrive is
returning an odd value to Emacs which confuses Emacs?  I don't use
Windows and OneDrive, so I can't test myself.  I guess the relevant code
is in `insert-file-contents', which is implemened in C, so it's not
trivial to debug.

Eli, do you have any ideas?
