I received a tip that replacing just ubiorbitapi_r2.dll is enough to get the
launcher working.  After testing I can verify that it is indeed so.  You can
grab the working version of the dll here:

As for the actual problem.  I think it has something to do with I/O completion
ports.  Perhaps writes don't generate events as they should, or some types of
I/O objects don't work properly, or new events overwrite already queued ones. 
Some tests need to be written for this, and I don't have time for it right now.
