This has been fixed already in the git repository. Windows is right, BTW :-) FreeType now produces the same results. Please test.

Attached is a font with four symbols (!, ", #, $), all containing an 'N', each with a slightly differently instructed diagonal. At extreme horizontal stretch (say, 550%), The " is displayed very differently under Windows (XP SP3) and FreeType (2.3.9, Ubuntu Jaunty).

I admit I don't know which is the correct way to render it.
