After some debugging with Rainer, I've now done a different change to
Tramp: there is a new variable tramp-password-end-of-line which is
used when sending a password to the remote end.  In all other cases,
tramp-rsh-end-of-line is used.

Does it work to use the most recent version of Tramp from CVS (on
http://savannah.gnu.org/, not Sourceforge!) with plink under
Windows?  You may wish to leave tramp-rsh-end-of-line at the default
value of "\n", but change tramp-password-end-of-line to "\r\n".
