I'm not surprised by this, because Windows volumes under WSL also have the same problem. However, I don't see the behaviour you describe when creating a new file system with NTFS on Linux and using ntfs-3g to mount with default options. In my case, everything works just fine.

Note that I didn't try using the old non-FUSE driver because that's deprecated and I don't believe it's available anymore in Debian sid.

What OS (including version) are you using and how are you mounting the file system?
