The issue sounds like a shell issue, not necessarily an application issue. You might wait until the real RC1 shows up before getting serious with this. After all, Micro$soft says they are working hard on bugs and fom what little I can tell it actually seems true. Here's another idea (which Eric should comment on first): Try loading CygWin and running avrdude *only* (not the make or anything else) from the cygwin bash window. That eliminates the Windows DOS shell as the issue.
