I don't have a windows machine to test.
For anyone interested, the way I tested the fix was like this:

$ mkdir temp
$ cd temp
$ touch empty.c
$ lldb -- /path/to/clang -cc1 empty.c -emit-pch -o empty.pch
(stop at the "rety_open_create:" label of unique_file function)

Now delete 'temp' directory and make sure the function does not get stuck.
