I think I found the culprit, although I don't understand why it used to 
work before, nor why it works on my machine...

In etc/gm/gm.tcl, lines 142 and 143 read:

append regexp .* $env(GISBASE) {[^:]*}
regsub -- $regexp $env(PATH) "&:$env(GISBASE)/etc/gui/scripts" env(PATH)

However, in windows, the seperator in the PATH variable is a ';', not a 
':'. Could you try changing the two ':' in these two lines to ';' and 
see what happens:

append regexp .* $env(GISBASE) {[^;]*}
regsub -- $regexp $env(PATH) "&;$env(GISBASE)/etc/gui/scripts" env(PATH)
