Actually, gretl doesn't like the foreign language=stata in Windows at all.
So, I don't think the problem is with gretl_export.
In fact, this generates the error (Windows) "The System cannot find file
specified."

It's possible that Stata is being confused by the forward slashes in the
adopath +?
Possibly. Windows itself (cmd.exe) can handle forward slashes
OK, but maybe something is going wrong between Stata and
Windows. (Things work OK using forward slashes with R and Ox
on Windows, in the analogous context.) In CVS and snapshot I'm
trying putting the slashes the other way in the "adopath +"
command for Stata.
