I do it always so that I put the flasher to waiting and then
turn on the device. Works always. I don't know about the
Windows-flasher,
I have never tried it. And by the way the first time I heard about the
home key thing.

Perhaps if you are confident that there is a such
issue with the Windows-flasher (that it does not have the wait mode), 
you may file a bug against it. Or just use Linux and be happy, e.g. I
wouldn't
do software development in anywhere else anyway :).
