[tex-live] xindy doesn't work on windows

I can't run xindy on a texlive 2012 installed on win xp. I get the
following error:


I:\Z-Test>xindy -M texindy -L german-duden orte.idx
*** - TRUENAME: Directory #P"C:\\DOKUME~1\\User\\LOKALE~1\\Temp\\"
does not exist

J:\texlive\2012\bin\win32\runscript.tlu:591: command failed with
exit code 1:
perl.exe j:/texlive/2012/texmf/scripts/xindy/xindy.pl -M texindy -L
german-duden orte.idx


The Temp-folder *does* exist, and if I add debug options I can see
that xindy write and reads files in this folder. So I suspect a bug
(quoting error) in xindy.pl or texindy.pl but I'm wondering why
nobody else seems to have problems. Is here someone on win xp who
could try it?

orte.idx was created with this document:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{multind}
\makeindex{orte}
\begin{document}
abc \index{orte}{Ort}Ort
\end{document}
