Some news, tested with the 4 commits in git.git around v1.6.3 as before:

It works correctly with QGit-2.3 installed from the Windows installer
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/qgit).

It works reversed when using a self-compiled qgit.
gcc: mingw-gcc 3.4.5
Qt: 4.4.1

Reversed means, git-format-patch is invoked like this:
    git format-patch v1.6.3..v1.6.3~3^
and doesn't produce patch files, instead of:
    git format-patch v1.6.3~3^..v1.6.3

The strange behaviour of getting only 2 patches on Linux, I couldn't
reproduce on Windows.

You use MSVC, don't you? Can you please try with mingw? It would be
really helpful, if you could reproduce it.
