Perhaps he only sent it there?]

I'm using the pre-built Emacs Windows build and don't have the
make utilities on this machine.

Presumably, this will suffice:

    emacs -batch -f batch-byte-compile lisp/window.el

Dunno if it's related to a possible "rebuild" problem but I also got:

>> Error during redisplay: (error "Variable binding depth exceeds max-specpdl-size")
>> image-search-load-path: Variable binding depth exceeds max-specpdl-sizeError during redisplay: (error "Variable binding depth exceeds max-specpdl-size")


FYI:

Looking at timestamps on the .el/.elc files, I see:

11/07/2011  09:12 PM           231,600 window.el
11/07/2011  09:12 PM           197,385 window.elc

which I believe is the time that Christoph is compiling the .elc files
and then copying both .el and .elc to a ZIP archive.

Dunno for sure but I believe he is compiling .el files beforehand.

In any event, your suggestion to recompile the .elc file is prudent
and helps to rule out the "rebuild" problem.

Thanks.
