I have been unable to duplicate any problem you have reported.
I don't know what is going wrong with your install.

It works on Windows but the main developers use Windows
as little as possible.  The Eclipse plugin work was initially
done on Windows.

You have at least 4 variables.  I suspect your qemu/grub
setup.  Can you tell me where you got your Windows version
of Qemu and what version it is.  The one I see is not that latest
version and that by itself is enough to cause issues.

With that, I will run the executable and grub setup I have
on Linux on Windows so we can be sure that a known good
RTEMS executable can even run on the version of qemu
you have.

I do LOTS of testing on qemu/rtems/grub/linux.  This is
how the i386-rtems tool test results are generated.  That is
~80K tests in batch mode.  There are many Windows users.

So we need to reduce variables.  First order is to split it
between rtems/tools and qemu.
