Comment (by dd32):

 I believe this issue mainly arises from the fact that some constants on
 windows environments contain a mixture of \ and / in the paths (which
 stems from `define( 'ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__) . '/' );` using \),
 whilst most core functions standardise on / in created paths.. and even
 some of the API's do a `str_replace('\\','/'..`

 ideally fixing this as low as possible would be better IMHO.
