I just downloaded opus make to see if I could duplicate this problem.

I can't.

Given that '!*' has some meaning to shells, I wonder if you are tripping
over some alias or function gone awry.  If you specify the full command line
to the make executable when you run the command you should bypass any
aliases or functions that you have in the make environment.

Otherwise, it's possible that there is something else being triggered.
Try doing a 'set -x; c:\path\to\make ; set +x' to see what is happening
when you invoke make.
