Comment (by paultgoodchild):

 This ticket has the risk of being waylaid as no-one has looked at it in a
 while.

 The suggestions around the use of `DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR` don't work as they
 don't understand the underlying problem. It's got nothing to do with
 `DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR` because the the issue stems from the use of
 `wp_normalize_path()` function, which has nothing to do with
 `DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR`.

 I believe my original patch solves this problem and is simple, effective
 and doesn't affect any of the other processing in the problem-function.

 Would be good if someone could take a deeper look at this and verify the
 simple patch either way.
 Thanks!
