Hello,
 I did some further testing. Not conclusive though but enough to give good leads.

shell>notepad
You do not see the notepad window showing up (as reported)

shell>[return]
shell>[return]
shell>[return]
shell>[return]

And you see the notepad window coming up after exactly 4 CR presses! Somewhere, it is expecting CRLF combinations I guess.. some comint?

For records, this works as expected:
(comint-exec (current-buffer) "notepad" "notepad.exe" nil nil)
