I was able to remove the startup error message by editing the registry
and changing 'HKCU\Software\GNU\GnuPG\gpgProgram' from

  %ProgramFiles%\GNU\GnuPG\gpg.exe

to

  %ProgramFiles%\GNU\GnuPG\pub\gpg.exe

Additionally I set 'HKLM\Software\GNU\GnuPG\Install Directory' to 

  %ProgramFiles%\GNU\GnuPG\pub


Unfortunately Sylpheed is still not working 100% with GPG4WIN. A lot of
DOS windows are opened whenever a pgp related action is executed and
sametimes decryption or signature verification does not work. I believe
this is the case when Sylpheed and GPG4WIN are used to encrypt / sign
the message.

I can confirm that Claws does work without problems with GPG4WIN.
