In principle, given that "make dev-install" essentially just builds 
smoketestoo_native to get a working installation in solver (as a side 
effect), and smoketest should work on Windows (at least it used to for 
OOo), this should not fail to work on Windows.

One difference (in OOo) has always been that smoketestoo_native put the 
installation not under solver, but in some temp path (and removed it 
again after running the smoketest).  This was to take care of the 
problem with long pathnames on Windows (with the assumption that the 
paths into the temp directory would be shorter than those into solver).

So even if smoketestoo_native were not broken on Windows (it at least 
looks so from the OP), building smoketestoo_native would not have the 
desired side effect of leaving a working installation in solver.
