Ok, got a bit closer on this one, finally. It seems that all of the
code is the same up thru tcl_mess() in t_tkcmd.c. Once the tcl data
from sys_vgui() is sent to the tcl process and chopped up into
distinct commands, tcl_mess() is used to send the command to the Tcl
process ("tk_pdinterp" is the tcl process, "s" is the command):

 result = Tcl_Eval(tk_pdinterp,  s);

I tried to print out "s" here, but I couldn't get it to show up. It
seems that stderr is a bit strange on Windows. My hunch is that
something on Windows is eating the "$", and therefore causing this
problem.

Anyone know a way to get this to show up on the Windows console:

 fprintf(stderr, "tcl_mess: %s\n", ms);

Try running pd from a .bat file. Or fprint(stdout... instead.
