Checking further, this works fine using the default Windows shell in Emacs, but
fails if I use bash as my shell. Unfortunately, I like to use bash, which I
achieve with the following lines in my init.el:
(setq shell-file-name "bash")
(setenv "SHELL" shell-file-name)
(setq explicit-shell-file-name shell-file-name)
