Have you found a way to work around this problem? I can't figure out what the problem could be. My only last suggestion is that you take a fresh backup in the .gramps format, and then delete all the Gramps data in "C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\gramps". You can just delete the whole directory. This is a drastic step which will destroy all your settings and databases. But perhaps some setting is causing this problem.

Good luck,
