I have no mingw machines, but I can try to answer.

No clue on this.

More info on this would be useful - ie, what error messages are 
produced, what is printed if you start pd from the console with the 
-stderr -verbose flags (in case some system messages don't go to Pd's 
window)?

The main pdlua-related problem I can think of is not having pd.lua in 
Pd's -path, but pdlua should print out messages to that effect if it 
can't find it.

No idea about these either.
