Thanks a lot for your analysis here! I did some testing against Windows
Server 2016 with ReFS and found that Windows in-fact responds
successfully to a get-compression request when the underlying FS doesn't
support it.

Please find a patch attached that attempts to have us match this
behaviour. Testing / feedback appreciated.

Cheers, David
