I can confirm that it works in WinGRASS6.4.3, unfortunately, many students already installed GRASS6.4.2 official stable release so they have to reinstall from daily snapshot.
This just makes it even more urgent to get GRASS6.4.3 out and remove the broken 6.4.2 and it may be useful to mention the 6.4.2 problem on winGRASS page - it makes it pretty much unusable.
