No, it's not a Windows-specific bug.  And yes, it's still present.

The bug is that any menu item that has a visibility spec is mentioned
as a binding by "C-h w" even if the visibility spec currently mandates
that the item be removed from the menu.  There's nothing
Windows-specific here.  In this particular case, the visibility spec
says that the menu item for chown should not be displayed on
MS-Windows and MS-DOS, but that's just one instance of a more general
issue.
