I do know now, thanks to Akira Kakuto, a TeXLive developer. It seems Windows 8.1 doesn't allow tmpfile() to create files in the root directory, presumably for security reasons. Until the mingw developers fix their implementation of tmpfile() accordingly, it will be necessary to revert to using mktemp(), which is a bigger security risk :+) Presumably gfortran doesn't use tmpfile() because the binaries in pmx.zip seem to be okay in Windows 8.1. Thanks Andre for alerting us to this issue.
