OK, so MSYS tools support non-Posix file names but they don't support C:foo. I suppose the porters didn't care, or didn't consider it important enough.

I think the > conclusion is that it _is_ supported, do you agree? It would be foolish not to agree that most programs, and certainly all Microsoft-supplied ones, do support it. (Hmm, that's a "yes", of course.) /L/e/k/t/u
