The way that we normally make shell scripts work on Windows is to

On Windows, the $GISBASE/bin directory will contain a .bat file for
each script in the $GISBASE/scripts directory. These are created
using
the scripts/windows_launch.bat file as a template.
It may suffice to add $GISBASE/etc/gui/scripts/v.type.sh.bat. If
that
doesn't work, add an "if windows ..." case to gis.m's "execute"
function, which invokes the script via $env(GRASS_SH).

This sounds good. Two questions.
1) How can we get the *.bat files to be generated for files in the
$GISBASE/ext/gui/scripts folder?
For the scripts in the scripts directory, this is done via the
following rule from Script.make:
$(BIN)/$(PGM).bat: $(MODULE_TOPDIR)/scripts/windows_launch.bat
sed -e "s#SCRIPT_NAME#$(PGM)#" $(MODULE_TOPDIR)/scripts/
windows_launch.bat > $@
For the gui/scripts, the above rule can be generalised to a pattern
rule:
$(GISBASE)/etc/gui/scripts/%.bat: $(MODULE_TOPDIR)/scripts/
windows_launch.bat
sed -e "s#SCRIPT_NAME#$*#" $(MODULE_TOPDIR)/scripts/
windows_launch.bat > $@
You then need to "make" the relevant .bat files with e.g.:
for file in *.* ; do $(MAKE) $(GISBASE)/etc/gui/scripts/$
$file.bat ; done
2) Can v.type.sh.bat be called by just specifying v.type.sh? Or do
you
need to fully specify the *.bat extension?
Just using the base name seems to work for everything else, although I
can't exclude the possibility that Tcl behaves differently depending
upon whether a full path is used (it's actually Tcl which tries the
.exe and .bat suffixes; it doesn't use Windows' ShellExecute()).

If someone who knows the build system well can make the changes Glynn
recommended to Script.make, we can test to see if that does the trick.
If not, I can change try to conditionalize the TclTk call for windows
to find v.type.sh.bat.
(related question, is such a name permitted for Windows XP and Vista?)
