At the very top of your log file are these lines
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
   $ PATH=/f/Programs/MiKTeX/miktex/bin/x64:$PATH make docs
   cp gnuplot-figures.tex gp_tex2.tex
   echo "\usepackage{graphicx}" > pdffigures.tex
   echo "\usepackage{picins}" >> pdffigures.tex
   # Call LaTeX three times to get the toc right.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

I think this means that your build path under Windows uses a Makefile
I did not know about and therefore failed to include when modifying
the mechanism for figure generation in commits    0a0a64   12aabd   

That would not surprise me. I broke it on linux also :-(
See Bug #2453
I tried to fix that, but it could be that I made things worse.


Is it this file?
   .../config/mingw/Makefile

How is that file generated?
Is it automatically created or is it edited by hand?

I think that the patch below would fix the problem you show,
but I don't know whether to apply it to that file directly or
apply it to a higher-level Makefile.am or Makefile.in.
