There's also a bug 3 lines earlier. Windows GetLastError() shouldn't be checked unless dwResultLow is INVALID_SET_FILE_POINTER.
Replace:
  195   if (::GetLastError() != NO_ERROR) {
  196             throw detail::bad_seek();
  197         } else {
  198            return offset_to_position((lDistanceToMoveHigh << 32) + dwResultLow);
  199         }
  200     }
With:
  195   if (INVALID_SET_FILE_POINTER == dwResultLow && ::GetLastError() != NO_ERROR) {
  196             throw detail::bad_seek();
  197         } else {
  198            return offset_to_position((static_cast<stream_offset>(lDistanceToMoveHigh) << 32) + dwResultLow);
  199         }
  200     }
