The standard extension for Windows static libraries is .lib.

By keeping the .a extension while using the MSVC ABI, we are forced to rename the files when integrating Rust libraries into compiler chains that expect .lib as an extension.

Thanks for the report! This is actually coming from the compiler, however, rather than Cargo, so could you reopen the bug over at rust-lang/rust?
