For GRASS_HTML_BROWSER, it is read in a number of contexts by e.g.
by g.manual shell script (6.x), g.manual python (7.x), wxGUI,

The variable's value should point to a browser's exe, not the
index.html of the docs folder.
Given that, more odd behaviour of g.manual re the variable. When

Can you modify the script to print its arguments? And

Hi Markus,
Thanks for the suggestion and the link to the changeset. It turns out I had
already made that change, having also discovered grass64.bat after editing
grass.bat.
That particular command was commented out in my version; I tried
un-commenting it but I still got the same error.

Hi Frank,
Try:
set GRASS_HTML_BROWSER=C:/Progra~1/Intern~1/iexplore
You can also cast opening the following file on your browser:
file:///C:/OSGeo4W/apps/grass/grass-6.4.0svn/docs/html/full_index.html
(change the version directory)
