This has been reported in http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/ticket/86 and AFAIK been fixed. Unfortunately the OSGeo4W-GRASS is old(er) and does not seem to incorporate this fix. We made several other fixes, too, which are missing. Action item: We need a volunteer to take over compilation of the OSGeo4W-GRASS package.

Thanks for trying, we really appreciate feedback (and need more power users for OSGeo4W).
