Why do you say that?

http://svn.python.org/projects/python/branches/release25-maint/Modules/collectionsmodule.c

is still present AFAICT.

But it isn't the one to be used.

That's true. Can you come up with a patch? Looking
at the error code of the exception should be sufficient;
it should be 5 (as the message shows). The exception
is *not* a string, but an object.

That would indicate a bug in the MingW port.

Likely, neither nor. My guess is that the MingW port,
for some reason, decides not to use the Win32 API to
perform stat, but the C library. That is incorrect,
as the C library will perform truncation of subsecond
time stamps. The compiler itself should have no effect
(other than defining different compiler recognition
macros).
