Here I get:
>> test importdata.m
PASSES 23 out of 23 tests

Comparing the number of tests it appears you have a few more dependencies
included.
My MXE setup is ~3 weeks old so that could make sense.

I do have gl2ps.h in /include, and libgl2ps.dll in /bin - intruiging.

In the octave mxe build log (on my Linux build box) I saw several entries
about "removing gl2ps.h" and "removing gl2ps-renderer.h".

Anyway I'll probably have little time to dive deeper into this until early
March - I'm away next week.
