Never mind, there actually *is* another idgen in my path, even 
when it only includes the aforementioned locations. A rogue 
idgen.exe somehow snuck into the D:\dmd2\windows\bin folder, 
probably because the guide on the wiki suggests to do `copy *.exe 
<bin folder>`, and idgen gets copied along with a newly built 
DMD. It'll work fine the first time, but will fail all subsequent 
times. That's pretty evil, actually. That should be changed on 
the wiki, and maybe I'll make a PR for the makefile so it will 
use the local idgen.
