Mingw32-make treats '\*' as a backslash escaping an asterisk, so it turns that into just '*'. I changed lib/Parrot/Configure/Step.pm to substitute '\\*' for '\*'. I can now run 'make test'. I have only tested this patch with mingw32-make, so I would appreciate it if others could test it with nmake / dmake to make sure they don't choke on the extra backslashes.
