Yes.  I assume you're running emacs-w32.exe.  I can reproduce the 
problem with that build, but not with emacs-X11 running under X11.  And 
it doesn't happen if you start the server by `M-x server-start' in an 
existing emacs session; it's specific to `emacs --daemon'.

I'm copying Daniel Colascione, the author of emacs-w32 (a.k.a. the 
cygw32 build of emacs).  Daniel, can you help?
