There's another possibility: that this quoting is done by
shell-quote-argument. What do you get if you evaluate the following
expression?
(shell-quote-argument "c:/foo/simple.el")
If you get the colon quoted with a backslash, then my crystal ball
says that you customized shell-file-name to point to the Cygwin Bash,
in which case this is normal behavior, see shell-quote-argument.
