The quality of error messages related to wrong types of arguments was 
improved in recent versions of SWIG. I'll double-check that the next 
windows build is done with the latest version.

But when doing some development on Windows recently I had some similar 
problems -  ie I was getting a segfault where it should be raising an 
exception. Which is pretty annoying b/c it's hard to track these down. 
I'll investigate further.
