Follow-up Comment #1:

Is this still a problem with the 3.6.4 version of Octave on Windows?

Also, isn't this an interaction with the Mingw shell rather than with Octave? 
The shell is probably turning "C:\" into "C:" before Octave ever sees it.

You might need to write "C:\\" so that the backslash is escaped from
processing by the shell.
