Ok there appears to be a bug with the version of SDL we are using in the Windows build of MG. I am working on upgrading the version used for the windows build of MG to see if it fixes this (from here: http://www.libsdl.org/hg.php)

For more info see: http://bugzilla.libsdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=849

Updated: Indeed this is fixed (as well as numerous other SDL bugs like alt-tabbing on Windows 7). The next release of MG will have these issues fixed (already checked into SVN, but requires new win32 deps download for windows users).
