The issue ended up being with the "pwd.exe" that comes with MSYS. 

Unlike the gnuwin pwd, MSYS's pwd apparently displays paths as /c/PATH (That is, unless you run it in conEmu, where it then displays the regular C:/PATH). This was then being caught by RULES_TOP and caused issues. Getting rid of the path to MSYS solved things.

Hi Keenan,

The issue is most likely to be with your setup.

Which version of make.exe do you end up running? We know the GnuWin32
one works and that some others don't and cause weird symptoms like
yours, so you might want to push that directory above the MSYS one.

Since you're using Strawberry Perl, I would recommend using the MinGW
installation that comes with that so you only need to add GnuWin32 to
have a working toolset.

This is my (working) win32-x86-mingw.bat file, which only requires
EPICS_BASE to already be set:

@ECHO OFF

REM ---- Windows
set PATH=C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem

REM ---- Strawberry Tools
set PATH=%PATH%;C:\strawberry-32\c\bin

REM ---- Strawberry Perl
set PATH=%PATH%;C:\strawberry-32\perl\site\bin;C:\strawberry-32\perl\bin

REM ---- GnuWin32 Make
set PATH=%PATH%;D:\Applications\GnuWin32\bin

REM ---- EPICS
set EPICS_HOST_ARCH=win32-x86-mingw

set PATH=%PATH%;%EPICS_BASE%\bin\%EPICS_HOST_ARCH%
