It sounds like a bug in command-not-found (the package which provides the "currently not installed" suggestion), or out-of-date indices.

Could you try running
        sudo apt-file update

then remove g++-mingw-w64 again
        sudo apt-get remove g++-mingw-w64

and see what error message
        i686-w64-mingw32-g++
gives?

(Obviously you can install g++-mingw-w64 again after this!)

Thanks,

Stephen
