[tex-live] Latexmk (42982) and later problem (on Windows only?)

[Leonid Sinev]

latexmk (42272) produce expected result with commandline:
latexmk -xelatex -jobname=dissertation_xelatex -ps- -dvi- -recorder -silent
dissertation.tex

But latexmk (42982) and latexmk (42993) fail to compile with the following
error:
Collected error summary (may duplicate other messages):
  xelatex: (Pdf)LaTeX failed to generate the expected log file
'dissertation_xel
atex.log'
Latexmk: Did not finish processing file 'dissertation.tex':
   (Pdf)LaTeX failed to generate the expected log file
'dissertation_xelatex.log
'
Latexmk: Use the -f option to force complete processing,
 unless error was exceeding maximum runs of latex/pdflatex.
C:\texlive\2016\bin\win32\runscript.tlu:679: command failed with exit code
12:
perl.exe c:\texlive\2016\texmf-dist\scripts\latexmk\latexmk.pl -xelatex
-jobname=dissertation_xelatex -ps- -dvi- -recorder -silent dissertation.tex

As far as i remember, same happens for -lualatex option also but not with
-pdf.
Fortunately i have found PC with not so up-to-date texlive, archived
latexmk with tlmgr and restored it on my PC.
