That's your diff.exe at work, I'm quite sure: it tries to quote the
colon, because it's a Cygwin Diff and lives in the Unix world. Don't
you see the same if you redirect Diff output to a file?
The version of Diff I have does this instead:
diff -c "c:/foo/simple.el" "c:/foo/simple-patched-2012-12-24.el"
which is much more reasonable.
