Sorry for the late reply.
I somehow missed your message.

Something is seriously weird here.
I added prints to main, and the sys.argv seems valid.

Logging code:

+print("ArgV size: " + str(len(sys.argv)))
+print("ArgV0: \"" + sys.argv[0] + "\"")
+print("ArgV1: \"" + sys.argv[1] + "\"")

Output:

trunk $ /mingw64/bin/meld .
Couldn't bind the translation domain. Some translations won't work.
[Error 126] The specified module could not be found
ArgV size: 2
ArgV0: "C:/Applications/Development/MSys64/mingw64/bin/meld"
ArgV1: "."
