Does the latest p4.el have some form of support for those 'p4 set' variables?

Not really. In fact, it is only with your mail that I realized that such a functionality existed for Windows (only).

I thought that you should be able to use p4.el just as it is, and have it work on Windows. Doesn't it?

There are two problems with Windows that I've seen. The first is that the default locations for p4 are Unix locations. The second is that the default Perforce installation on MS machines uses the registry for P4PORT, P4CLIENT, P4USER etc., and they don't show up in the environment.

BTW, you were right -- setting the value for the executable fixed the problem.
