Probably it is related to the filesystem redirection/WOW64 feature in Windows. 64-bit applications see a completely different folder for C:\Windows\System32 and some other folders than 32-bit applications, so if your external command depends on anything in these folders it will fail on one but not the other.

From the vim_dev thread¹ on this topic, it looks like the problem was with shell quoting in the plugin. I don't know why this would affect 64-bit Vim but not 32-bit but it sounds like the cause is known.
