It no doubt happens in the same code which converts paths to their
Windows format. Someone decided that trailing colons are a mistake of
sorts that needs to be "fixed". Or maybe it's just an unintended
consequence of how the code was written, with this special use case
unaccounted for.
In any case, this is a bug that should be reported, IMO.
