> 1. Bug in Windows 10, which should be reported to Microsoft.

It appears to be a bug in the kernel. It's isn't updating the value of of the output parameter *lpReturnLength.

Step to the system call, NtQueryInformationJobObject:

    KERNEL32!QueryInformationJobObject+0x69:
    7759c529 85c0            test    eax,eax

It returns STATUS_SUCCESS (register eax), but *lpReturnLength hasn't been updated:

    0:000> dd 56f36c l1
    0056f36c  77748600

Likewise the Win32 call is successful.
