Setup fails using latest node/npm/bower

I do the following steps to install Laverna on Windows: download the latest node.js windows installer and install in g:/nodejs then do:

cd g:/nodejs
npm install -g grunt bower
git clone https://github.com/Laverna/laverna.git
cd laverna
npm install
bower install
grunt build

There are two problems:

The repository URLs in bower.json use the git:// protocol. This hangs my bower install as it is waiting for me to type 'yes' into the SSH prompt "The authenticity of host 'github.com' can't be established.". I guess I have some old github RSA key in my known_hosts (or someone is doing a MITM on my github SSH...). It's not obvious at the time why the bower install is hung though. I fixed this by just swapping all the repo URLs for the equivalent https:// ones.
The bower install of device.js seems to be broken in some way. The grunt build command fails because the requirejs task can't find app/bower_components/device.js/lib/device.min.js. I "solved" this by just git cloning the appropriate repo into bower_components. This is a terrible hack, but I have no idea why bower is not installing the expected files.

G:\nodejs>node --version
v0.10.26

G:\nodejs>grunt --version
grunt-cli v0.1.13

G:\nodejs>bower --version
1.3.1

FYI I've also tried the install on Linux and had exactly the same issues.

Let me know if you need any more information.
