Bug reporter uses 5.2.14 (5.2.15 just came out last Thursday and 
changelog [1] doesn't report any fixes for this)

[2] Explains that the way PHP < 5.3 calls cmd.exe is in fact the 
problem. Comments in [3] suggest that it only happens when there are 
more than two double quotes in the command and also propose a few 
workarounds:
- put command in a temporary .bat file and execute that
- put a dummy command in front of the actual command (e.g. c: & 
"c:\Program Files\GraphicsMagick\gm.exe" convert -----)

Thanks, that would be the only "solution" if the workarounds won't work 
in the end. Fortunately 5.2 is EOL with the last release.
