I'm not sure if this is totally relevant, but I'm going to point out that on the OSGEO versions of the Windows install, qgis-dev recently took to using GRASS RC2. This carefully uninstalled RC1, causing a non-fatal error in the qgis.bat file.

If the 1.7.2 branch happened after that point (and I'm not sure on the timing - which is why I'm not sure it's relevant) then the qgis.bat file needs updating to reflect this.
