Working version (from fpc 2.3.1):
GNU windres 2.16.91 20050827
Copyright 2005 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
This program is free software; you may redistribute it under the terms of
the GNU General Public License.  This program has absolutely no warranty.

Not working version (from fpc 2.0.2):
GNU windres 2.9.5
Copyright 1997, 1998, 1999 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
This program is free software; you may redistribute it under the terms of
the GNU General Public License.  This program has absolutely no warranty.

Attached is the used fpc-res.res file.

Looking at the version, I think windres is just too old. I never had fpc 2.0.4 
installed on this computer, so I am still using the binutils from fpc 2.0.2.
