While the exact problem is not clear to me, I think you might need to 
add an instance variable to say what type of handle you have, and use 
that ivar to decide to convert from one to another where you need to 
pass the handle/descriptor to functions which don't deal with the other 
type.
So, you would only use _open_osfhandle at the point where it's needed, 
rather than at initialisation.

I'll happily look at any patch you have.
