Failed to list Grunt tasks error in WebStorm

I am using JetBrains Webstorm 11.0.4 on Windows 7. I have a project with a Gruntfile.js file for which, when I attempt to have WebStorm "Reload Tasks", WebStorm fails with:

"! Failed to list tasks" in the Grunt pane.

The details of the error are:

Registering "C:\Program Files (x86)\JetBrains\WebStorm 11.0.4\plugins\JavaScriptLanguage\grunt_js\tasks" tasks.
Loading "grunt-tasks-fetcher.js" tasks...ERROR

Aborted due to warnings.

Googling with:

webstorm "failed to list tasks" gruntfile

...returns precisely zero results in English.

I am using nvm to manage multiple Node.js versions on my machine. I have seen other posts on SO mentioning some dodgy interactions with nvm in scenarios like this, but as best I can tell, I don't think those anecdotes apply in my situation, as I'm using Windows.

I've scoured the web on this one for several hours over the course of weeks, and tried a variety of things-- nothing seems to help.
