Well, I wasn't able to get any useful debugging information out of 
Windows so we have reluctantly taken the decision to revert from 
bleeding-edge 3.1.x to stable 3.0.11 and work around the problem we were 
having by avoiding it. We'll revisit this when 3.2.x is released.

Thanks to everyone who helped with our troubleshooting.
