Thanks Juanma.

This gave me an idea: renamed away .emacs.d. Started a new emacs
instance, which complained:

File error: Opening output file, no such file or directory, 
d:/home/.emacs.d/server/server

so started eshell and created the directory d:/home/.emacs.d/server/

Now file-attributes returns 500 for the file uid, the same value as
user-uid returns, and server-ensure-safe-dir does not complain.

Why file-attributes returns 544 for the file uid on the old directory?
I still have it around, in case you want some info about it.
