Ah. This sounds as if the 2>&1 stuff is simply passed through to the 
called program, with no redirection attempt on the side of the shell.
Which is curious, since DOS had redirection facilities working since DOS 
3.0 (if not even earlier). The shell just doesn't understand the syntax, 
that's all :(

The best thing that you can do is to write a small wrapper program that 
does the redirection, then executes whatever was passed to it as 
parameter string. (You'd have to use "COMMAND /C ..." to execute builtin 
commands this way though.)
