I can't confirm that. Code like the following always worked fine for me:

include misc.e
include dll.e

atom Kernel32

if platform() = WIN32 then
   Kernel32 = open_dll("kernel32.dll")
else
   Kernel32 = -1
end if
? Kernel32
if getc(0) then end if

Interpreted with exw.exe the code prints e.g. 2088763392, interpreted with
ex.exe it prints -1 as expected. The code never "errors out".
