I think this is likely Windows trying to avoid generating 0 length frames.

(usb max single datagram [frame?] size is 1024 bytes).

My guess is this extra byte will only ever happen at the end of a
multiple of 1024 bytes,
and it will always be exactly one byte, and it will likely be a '0' pad byte.

Could you check if a more specific test of this sort would make sense?
(ie. fix the problem)

Something like

if (to_process == 1) && (current_offset & 1023 == 0) && (*payload == 0)
  // extra 1 zero byte pad to prevent multiple of 1024 sized packet
  return
}

It seems a little dangerous to just blindly ignore arbitrary amounts
of trailing garbage...

shouldn't this check actually be >= not > ?
