Binary package hint: ntfs-3g

This is confirmed on ntfs-3g website, but it seems that the release 1.2216 has a fix for that. From the changelog (thanks to Evan Dandrea for pointing that out):

"Fix: file and directory removal, rename and move may have been denied with an "Operation not supported" error message."

In particular a Wubi user reported the following error while performing a kernel upgrade in wubi (ntfs-3g) which is likely to be related to the above:
