The root of this issue seems to be this python bug in xmlrpclib:
http://bugs.python.org/issue1223

It was fixed in Python 2.6, but not in earlier version, so the problem should be reproducible on all Python 2.5 versions, not just Windows. Of course, since Python 2.5 is currently packaged with the OpenERP Windows installer, Windows clients are likely to have this problem. 
If you have a working OpenERP Server with XML-RPCS enabled, you can do the following test to see if you can reproduce the error:

On Python 2.4 or 2.5 it fails:

Python 2.5.5 (r255:77872, Sep 14 2010, 17:19:13)

    return self._ssl.read(len)

On Python 2.6 it just works:
