Could you have configured your Jenkins server to expect Git in a certain path (where it is on the master), and then have placed it on a different path on the slave? Could you have configured your Jenkins server to automatically install Git as a tool but then have instead installed it yourself on the Windows slave? I'm not familiar with the source code of the git plugin, but a casual browsing seems to indicate that there is a loop which iterates over Git installations trying to find a git executable. In your case, it seems that loop is not finding the git executable, even though the executable is in the path. None of those ideas seem very likely to me, but maybe they'll inspire you (or someone else) further towards an answer.
