This is an issue with Proguard in the Windows developer tools - edit Android SDK\tools\proguard\bin\Proguard.bat

Replace:

call %java_exe% -jar "%PROGUARD_HOME%"\lib\proguard.jar %*

with:

call %java_exe% -jar "%PROGUARD_HOME%"\lib\proguard.jar %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9

Keep a reference to this solution because next time you update the SDK tools it'll probably be reintroduced (has been present in last few releases).
