Yes, this is a bug in the Windows port of Polygraph.

You can check the latter by running lx against the binary logs
produced by polyclt or polysrv. If lx outputs some statistics and
reports no errors, then all information was saved. I agree that the
bug is quite annoying if you have to use Windows and have to interrupt
tests.
We will fix the bug with the next public release (if we decide to
continue to provide a Windows port). If you would rather not wait, you
have two options. First, you can remove the assertion in the source
code and try to build your own binaries. We use MS Visual C++, and
Polygraph sources contain nmake makefiles for Windows, but I do not
know whether removing the assertion will help. You can also pay for a
rush fix.
HTH,
