I have run it on windows 2000 with IIS at one point, but lately i've only used 
apache when testing windows compatibility (since i don't have access to iis 
at home)

Are you using CVS or 0.2.0? There was a bug reported recently that's fixed in 
CVS where I had been using the wrong directory separator when setting the 
path. 
See:
<http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/gubed/Gubed/ServerScripts/Gubed.php?r1=1.6&r2=1.7>
<http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/gubed/Gubed/ServerScripts/GubedFunctions.php?r1=1.13&r2=1.14> 
(at the bottom)
<http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/gubed/Gubed/ServerScripts/GubedGlobals.php?r1=1.7&r2=1.8>

I'm not sure it's a solution to your problem, but worth testing.
Also, have you used slash replacement in the pathmapper dialog?

The apache_lookup_uri was added to support apache aliases, it shouldn't be 
required in other cases but ofcourse, there might be sideeffects that im not 
aware of.

Yes. But StartSession and the scripts debugged shouldnt need to be in the same 
directory. Do you have a similar setup with using developers home directories 
on windows?

Now, this is tricky ;)
I've never used Gubed to debug Gubed, I guess in theory it might be possible, 
but I'm not sure I want to try - it would get complex.

You might be able to do it with another debugger like xdebug, but i havent 
tried this neither.

So far, I've survived on echo's, die's and things like:
gbdSendCommand("status", Array('message'  => 'Shouldn\'t be here: %1%, %2%', 
'args' => 2, 'arg1' => $gbdScriptname, 'arg2' => $gbdLine));

Also, when debugging a script, you can watch gubeds internal variables by 
watching $GLOBALS['gbd']
