To follow-up on that, I finally managed to fix the issue (thanks Reynald!):

I had to replace "/manifest" with "-manifest" and "DUMPBIN.EXE /SYMBOLS" with "DUMPBIN.EXE -SYMBOLS", otherwise the "/" is replaced by the conda env path (not sure why - might be because of the ROOT env variable set to that path?).

With that build, the marshalling issue is gone.
