It's not a bug, see ":help $VIM" item 3. Vim 7.1 will try removing "vim71" from the directory from which it was started. That's what vim{version} means. "vim75" would be the vim{version} of vim 7.5 but it's vim 7.1 that you're using. I recommend installing your executables into a single vim71 directory but with different names such as gvim.exe and gvim-fp.exe (see the paragraph below the list of executable names at ":help gvim" etc.).
