No. The problem we're talking about here is a regression and needs
fixing, no doubt about it.
I was just saying that win32 paths *in general* get a less complete
treatment than POSIX paths for hopefully obvious reasons. Just be
aware that \foo\bar is not the same as /foo/bar and may even point
to another file.
As for the bug in question: I pushed a patch which should fix this
issue. I created new developer snapshots and uploaded them to
https://cygwin.com/snapshots/. Please give them a try.
Thanks,
Corinna
