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.
