Yes, I confirmed this last night.

Ah. Although the problem goes away (as shown by an examination of the
assembly source code), when I use gcc4 on my real source code, I get
warnings about the interrupt vectors being invalid, and no object (.o)
files get generated. I can't even generate test.o from test.c.

This is possibly an installation issue. I just untarred the
pre-compiled files into a directory, and put that path with /bin
appended at the front of Cygwin's $PATH. I don't see any installation
instructions for mspgcc4; is there something else I need to do?

I gave up on mspgcc4, assuming that it was not "production ready" yet.
But if msp-gcc3 is not being maintained, perhaps I should make the
effort to get msp-gcc4 working. Perhaps I should use Cygwin's tar to
extract the files.

Before I could use msp430-gcc, I had to replace a zero length file
with that name in the installation /bin directory with a soft link to
msp430-gcc4.4.4.exe . THere seems to be a similar issue with
msp430-g++. I used 7-zip to unarchive and untar the files; perhaps it
doesn't understand soft links inside archives. Are there other soft
links to fix?

So to summarise my questions:

1) Is msp430-gcc4 production ready? Are people using it now?
2) Are there special installation steps?
3) Can I safely ignore the warning about the interrupt vectors being invalid?

Thanks in advance.
