thanks a lot for your answer.
I created a new repository which is not a bare repo to use your commands
posted above (i tested it with the normal push command from the client
and same error).

I created the bundle on the client, copied it with winscp to the server
and it was applied fine to the repository:
$ git pull ../foo.bundle master
Receiving objects: 100% (3/3), 91.63 KiB, done.
From ../foo.bundle
 * branch            master     -> FETCH_HEAD
Updating 53b9b5e..301e730
Fast-forward

So the problem should be located anywhere else.
I tested now the same on a mac osx as client and there everything works
as expected, I added the file, commited it and pushed it without errors
to the server.

So the problem has something to do with windows as client. I will do
some additional test this evening.

Where can we continue to search?
