though it's hard to believe that it could be so ancient as to be pre-5.0 (which is what I think the error is implying)

Ah ... that's *not* what is being implied. The problem probably is that, in tkWinX.c we have: 
#ifndef _WIN32_IE
#define _WIN32_IE 0x0300
#endif

#include <commctrl.h>

[download]
Rearranging the order in that file should fix the problem: 
#include <commctrl.h>

#ifndef _WIN32_IE
#define _WIN32_IE 0x0300
#endif

[download]
In the latest Tk devel version, they've taken a different approach - which should also fix the problem (as was suggested earlier): 
#if !defined( _WIN32_IE) && !defined(__MINGW64_VERSION_MAJOR)
#define _WIN32_IE 0x0300
#endif

#include <commctrl.h>
