Yes, this is a bug in the runtime :-( and we have already fixed it. The
latest internal SB81 returns the correct value. The fix will be available

Unfortunately, the %WINVER% variable value is set too late (after processing
some internal fallback codes) and so it reports WIN8 for WIN81.

As a temporary workaround, you can use this method:
