rsync of windows shortcuts creates foo and foo.lnk - never fully synchronizes

I just tried something different on a hunch.  The problem still occurs
when this mkshortcut command is replaced by a simple "touch
winshortcut.lnk".  So the problem I'm having seems to be due to the
filename extension, not the contents of the file.  Files with other
extensions work fine.

> # create a shortcut
> cd /tmp/A/foo
> mkshortcut \
>  --arguments="mintty" \
>  --name="winshortcut" \
>  --workingdir="$HOME" \
>  /bin/run
