The interesting bits of krb5_cc_Defeault are in 
src/lib/krb5/os/ccdefname.c .  The windows behavior is rather different 
from the Unix behavior.
I wonder, what is the value of the HKCU\Software\MIT\Kerberos5\ccname 
registry entry?  The KfW installer should set it to "API:"; I am not 
entirely sure offhand what behavior to expect if it is not set at all.
(The HKLM version of that entry is also checked.)

Probably, the call to krb5_cc_default_name is falling back to 
os_context->default_ccname, you might look at that in the debugger.
