As of Test 79 -multiwindow works across multiple monitors just great, with or without the -multiplemonitors flag. (Thank you Kensuke!)
The multiple monitor support in Xwin.exe is like the +xinerama Linux option - it treats all the monitors as one screen. Although you can specify multiple screens with -screen 0 -screen 1, there is currently no way to associate them with individual monitors. Was that what you wanted to do?

You can use the -multimonitor command-line parameter for XWin.exe to create a window that spans multiple monitors. However, this flag does not yet work in conjunction with the -multiwindow command-line parameter... though it would probably be trivial to make it work. Are you using the -multiwindow command-line parameter?
