Dear Daniel,
I have a one-month-old (apologize) wingrass 6.4.svn installed from
http://josef.fsv.cvut.cz/wingrass/ on windows7.

sounds like you are running through Cygwin ("GNU Bash (Cygwin)
(/usr/bin/bash.exe)") -- on my machine the MSys desktop link triggers a
welcome screen that at the same line says "Bourne Shell (/bin/sh)" (and
everything works as expected including the wxpython GUI):
Cleaning up temporary files ...

Do you by any chance have Cygwin bash.exe on your %PATH% environmental
variable?
As for the Python errors you mention, I am not sure but it may again be
a problem related to %PATH% settings. It is indeed possible to have
heritage Cygwin/GRASS and the new native Wingrass running on the same
machine, but care must be taken to avoid messing with the global %PATH%.
As for running R from GRASS, an approach I have found useful is to
follow the advice by Glynn Clements, i.e. not running GRASS from MSys
but instead use a simple DOS box started via a batch file that sets
required environmental variables to run GRASS, and then call the shell
executable sh.exe (shell scripts designed for Cygwin/GRASS run with
minimal adjustments -- mostly to cope with MSys path conventions
issues). Glynn has taken on this topic in a growing (thanks for your
patience, Glynn!) number of posts -- see for example:
http://osgeo-org.1803224.n2.nabble.com/grass-start-bat-in-windows-tp4492202p4492202.html
Finally, when I have my GRASS-enabled DOS box, I just type R (of course
R needs to be in the %PATH%) and I am pretty much done.
I hope this helps and sorry if I misunderstood your questions,
Luigi
