I think the default temp_file function is broken on Windows. Does
putting the following in monotonerc help?:

function temp_file()
   local tdir
   tdir = os.getenv("TMPDIR")
   if tdir == nil then tdir = os.getenv("TMP") end
   if tdir == nil then tdir = os.getenv("TEMP") end
   if tdir == nil then tdir = "/tmp" end
   return mkstemp(string.format("%s\mt.XXXXXX", tdir))
end

The default version uses a / in the last line, which apparently
doesn't (always) get handled properly on Windows.
