[JENKINS-33164] Pipeline bat stuck on Windows Server 2012

I have Jenkins slave nodes configured on Windows Server 2012 with a very simple pipeline script:

node('js-win') {

	stage 'Checkout'

	checkout scm

	stage 'Build'

	bat 'dir'

}

At the end of the script, from the Console output, it would just spin and hang after listing all the files.
