Ok. If you tested with a dirty working tree you run into the following problem. git-gui in msysgit doesn't understand '-dirty' versions. You need to cherry pick from main git the following commits:

2dfa54c6cb39c443652440f1ee6fdf5a6067364a git-gui: Skip -dirty suffix on core git versions ec4fceece4a9f155afcadec254caff5cef781c67 git-gui: Brown paper bag "dirty git version fix"

btw, does someone know, where stderr of wish is piped to. It doesn't appear on the mingw console, which makes debugging more challenging.
