Sure. I'll start looking into it this afternoon/evening. Feel free
to still drop by on irc.gnome.org though (#win32 should serve us
well to prepare all this). Always better having 2 pair of eyes going
over bugzilla :) I'm there as dieterv (or dieterv_afk when real life
requires my attention).

If you mean the drag preview thing that sits under the pointer while
dragging then yes, it continues to follow the pointer even when it
leaves the bounds of the parent GtkWindow with Peter's patches applied.

Don't attempt applying those manually though, have a look at
http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/downloads/list and save yourself some
manual labor. I've been using the PortableGit flavor more than a
year now and it has served me well :)
