The issue sounds like a shell issue, not necessarily an application
issue.

You might wait until the real RC1 shows up before getting serious with
this.  After all, Micro$soft says they are working hard on bugs and fom
what little I can tell it actually seems true.

Here's another idea (which Eric should comment on first): Try loading
CygWin and running avrdude *only* (not the make or anything else) from
the cygwin bash window.  That eliminates the Windows DOS shell as the
issue.
