After many test builds, it seems that the only source of for that error left that I could think is a race condition during build. In particular changing the definitions of QEPID does not make a difference. So I suggest you do a "make veryclean && make windows" and try again.

Could it be that the OS caches a previously-used copy of gnuplot_qt, so that even when
you build a new one in practice it uses the old one?  That would explain everything.

The problem you are now seeing sounds exactly like the problem I saw when the
new QEPID was originally added in the middle of the definition list.  It made the new
gnuplot executable incompatible with my old gnuplot_qt, and vice versa it made the
new gnuplot_qt incompatible with the gnuplot executables previously built for
5.0.0 5.0.1 5.0.2 etc.
