FWIW, here is my impression. Emacs 23.4 has the following code in
`comint-dynamic-complete-as-filename':
(let ((file (concat (file-name-as-directory directory) completion)))
;; Insert completion. Note that the completion string
;; may have a different case than what's in the prompt,
;; if read-file-name-completion-ignore-case is non-nil,
(delete-region filename-beg filename-end)
(if filedir (insert (comint-quote-filename filedir)))
If I'm not mistaken, this is the part that turns d:\gnu into d:/gnu.
Emacs 24 uses the completion-at-point mechanism. The equivalent code
responsible for replacing the quoted prefix is (IIUC) the `prefixes'
stuff in comint--complete-file-name-data, around comint.el:3178.
That's probably where the bug lies.
