Odd; the list of files to install is generated by:

	COLORSRC := $(wildcard colors/[a-z]*)

The use of "colors/[a-z]*" (rather than just "colors/*") is
specifically intended to omit the CVS directory. For some reason, your
version of make seems to be performing a case-insensitive match.

AFAICT, this doesn't happen for anyone else, just you.

Yep. No-one has yet added the checks to only install these for
Windows.

No idea; the lib subdirectories aren't built in parallel.
