Am I correct in thinking there isn't a viable solution to this other than making the NTFS partition a VFAT one instead?

I use the server route since that's how I've thought for too long. These days there exist several ext2/ext3 drivers for Windows. I never moved beyond experimental releases but for a dual-boot machine like you describe that's the direction I'd explore. Hopefully others here have more current experience on the best solution.
