Why is this working?
Code:
hashcat-cli64.exe --stdout -a 3 -m 0 hash.txt -i -1 ?u ?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1
It seems to be using the hash as charset

I don't think you know what --stdout does.

Actually, when I remove --stdout it seems to work fine.

Evidently, I thought it was a way to see what is being generated.

No that's not the purpose of --stdout. It's used to pipe or redirect the candidates. In your case the hash is read as maskfile and since it does not include any wildcards it's printed as-is.
