This is a known issue of the 200705xx WinAVR build.  I don't know
whether Eric already has an idea what caused that issue.

Note this is *not* an avrdude issue though, it's somehow related to
the way the libusb-win32 is installed into the target system.  The
installed avrdude has been linked against libusb but it is then not
found at run-time.  It's the Win32 run-time loader that does not find
it, so it aborts the loading before avrdude even gets control.

That's exactly the workaround that is known to fix it.
