I see only one Windows-specific change to post.trm in the past year or so:

commit 1955b4151ceef88de644bc89c39477a3d537ad13
Author: Bastian Maerkisch <bma...@we...>
Date:   Sat Feb 12 19:00:42 2022 +0100

    pslatex, pstex: make sure we don't mix style of line endings
    
    (La)TeX chokes on mixing different line endings of Postscript data. This
    would be the case for a git checkout on Windows. We now make sure that we
    consistently use CR only line endings on Windows/DOS/OS/2.

That would be fine.
But before the bug report you could try reverting the above commit
to see if that fixes it.
