I am afraid that I can not be of much help in as far as that question
is concerned.  People who are using Windows can construct a *Locate*
buffer with at least two files ,*to be consistent with the original
report, both directories*, on at least two drives, say c: and d: and
then check whether V wworks properly for both and whether
file-directory-p correctly returns t for both directories.  At least
one person reported that the answer was no, but if it is yes for
everybody else, then it probably is due to some local problem.

People can consult:

for the original report.
