I can't help you with this problem, but a simple workaround would be to
change the command to the following:

for /r %a in (.) do dir /b /s "%a\*.mp3" | sort /o "%a\this.m3u"

The /o switch directs the output of sort to a file and is faster than using
the standard output. The quotes avoid problems with filenames which contain
spaces.
