I have two suggestions:
1) I noticed that in a real windows installation that COMSPEC is
set to C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND.COM, so in your $HOME/win/autoexec.bat
try doing a
set COMSPEC=C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND.COM
2) I am not sure how a "windows program" is starting the batch file.
Do you have source for the Windows program? If it is being done
instead as a shortcut to a PIF file, you could configure the
startup working directory as either C:\ or C:\WINDOWS
