Unfortunately, nope. :( I tested it manually.
How did i test it?

1) xlog directory doesn't exist -- OK
2) xlog directory exists -- OK
3) xlog directory exists but doesn't have the right permissions --
FAILED
4) xlog diretory exists but is not empty -- FAILED
5) interrupting initdb execution (Ctrl-C) to test the cleanup code -- OK

PS> i didn't test it in a win32 box but it should be ok.
