Oh, too bad I didn't wage any money on the bet, then. :-)

Gnus should ideally notice that the process died, and imap.el do
contain such logic, but I think you ran into a Emacs bug too.  If you
can find out why `process-status' inside `imap-starttls-open' return
'run even though the process has died, and report that to the Emacs
for Windows people, and they fix it, Gnus will happily continue the
login procedure using the normal network connection.

Or, you could remove the 'starttls' binary.
