GRASS is quite usable on Windows without MinGW/Msys: they aren't a 
requirement for running the bulk of GRASS modules which are written in C, 
nor for the startup or GUI (gis.m) which are written in Tcl - but a few 
modules are written in Bourne shell script and will not run without a 
bourne shell interpreter, which is not available on Windows. Unfortunately 
you've managed come across two such modules...
FWIW the full list (more or less) of modules which are shell scripts is:
