This is most probably some bug in the way you use findfirst/findnext.
They both work in LFN and non-LFN mode alike.  If you want to convince
yourself, try using opendir and readdir, they call findfirst and
findnext internally.

If you cannot figure this out, post a short program which exhibits the
problem on your machine, and somebody will find the cause.
