Comment:

 This problem comes from a default PROJ4 setting. By default, PROJ4 tries
 to define the +lat_1 and +lat_2 parameters to work with a U.S. map for all
 lcc and aea based projection. This is defined in
 <OSGeo4W_install_dir>\share\proj\proj_def.dat

 When not using the environment variables, cs2cs simply didn't find this
 default configuration file and the good result was produced.

 To prevent the use of this default configuration file, PROJ4 has the
 +no_defs parameters. If you use this parameter, like it is in the epsg
 file and the cs2cs website, you should get the good result.

 > cs2cs.exe -f "%.03f%" +proj=longlat +datum=WGS84 +pm=greenwich
 +ellps=WGS84 +to +proj=lcc +units=m +towgs84=31,146,47,0,0,0,0
 +pm=greenwich +a=6378249.2 +rf=293.466021293627 +lon_0=-5.4 +x_0=1500000
