Holy Baloney!  It's the same here on Windows Vista at work!

the console:

read-bitmap: expects type <path-string or input-port> as 1st argument, given: '#
(#<procedure:draw-honu> 270 270); other arguments were: 'unknown/alpha #f #t

 === context ===
C:\Program Files\Racket\collects\racket\draw\private\bitmap.rkt:841:0: read-bitm
ap
C:\Program Files\Racket\collects\drracket\private\drracket-normal.rkt: [running
body]
C:\Program Files\Racket\collects\drracket\drracket.rkt: [running body]


[Exited. Close box or Ctrl-C closes the console.]
