I think the problem is in calling file-exists-p. IIUC we use it to
decide whether to pass the file to expand-file-name, right?
And the reason we do that is because some file names are "normal" and
others refer to non-files according to some w32 feature which can map
them to some other tools.
I don't know that w32 feature at all, so it's hard for me to figure out
what should be done, but it seems like file-exists-p is not the right
thing to do anyway since the file name might be "normal" but refer to
a file that doesn't exist yet.
So, how does w32 decide whether a file name is "normal" or not?
