This workaround also seems to fix V on windows:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defun bh/view-next-project ()
  (interactive)
  (unless (marker-position org-agenda-restrict-begin)
    (goto-char (point-min))
    (setq bh/current-view-project (point)))
  (bh/widen)
  (goto-char bh/current-view-project)
  (forward-visible-line 1)
  (while (and (< (point) (point-max))
	      (or (not (org-get-at-bol 'org-hd-marker))
		  (org-with-point-at (org-get-at-bol 'org-hd-marker)
		    (or (not (bh/is-project-p))
			(bh/is-project-subtree-p)))))
    (forward-visible-line 1))
  (setq bh/current-view-project (point))
  (if (org-get-at-bol 'org-hd-marker)
      (progn
	(bh/narrow-to-project)
	(org-agenda-redo)
	(beginning-of-buffer))
    (error "All projects viewed.")))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I would prefer something that is consistent on linux and windows
though...
