It works for me if I am creating a new mapset in the same location, but 
not if I create a mapset in another location, like below:

 > g.mapset -c mapset=test location=nc_basic_spm_grass7

Gives me a new empty (i.e., no WIND file) folder 'test' in the location 
folder of nc_basic_spm_grass7. Does this work for you?
