Attached is an old patch (I used Dieterv's G-O-I branch) that fixes this mostly for me.
>From what I could determine at the time, either the Anti-Virus or some other culprit still had the .exe locked, so the rm failed the first time. Waiting (might make it longer for slower machines) on failure seems to fix it.

Subject: [PATCH 3/3] Windows port: handle failure to unlink the temporary
directory more gracefully
On MinGW/MSYS unlinking the temporary directory the first time do not always
succeed the first time because of what seems to be AV-scanner activity on
the created executable. This causes Python to throw an exception, and due to
some strange interaction between MSYS and Python, an artificial lockup is
caused. Pressing return in mintty prints the exception and continues.
This is with Python 2.7 from www.python.org.
