Comment (by knutsp):

 In PHP on Windows "/" is a defacto valid directory separator. Some systems
 doesn't acknowledge that "/" and "\" are interchangeable. Is this
 something WordPress should fix? Maybe.

 I guess that to solve this "side effect" completely we must change all the
 path building uses of "/" to DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR in core. I have doubts we
 ever will, but if we did, it seems to be some benefits.
