Think I finally got it to work.
1) install ImageMagick from source using mingw, like (in msys bash) ./configure –prefix=/c/imagemagick –disable-perl && make && make install
http://www.waydotnet.com/blog/2010/02/rmagick-on-ruby-1-9-1-i386-mingw32-work-d/
lists a much easier way to do it (assuming you have the devkit installed):
install ImageMagick somewhere (with headers option checked, and yes add it to your path) (ImageMagick-6.6.2-Q16 known to work).
C:\> set CPATH=D:\installs\ImageMagick-6.6.2-Q16\include
C:\> set LIBRARY_PATH=D:\installs\ImageMagick-6.6.2-Q16\lib
C:\> gem install rmagick
Though he does list a few more steps that might be useful…

meant “somehow or other you linked against an imagemagick that was old or outdated or incomplete or somefin–for me on mingw, recompiling it from scratch and using that version worked splendidly, though there are probably other options”

lists an even easier way [except currently broken with the latest version of ImageMagick, so I'll leave my notes up for not]
