That is not correct.  In windows cmd.exe, file separator is only '\'.
The following is snapshot of cmd.exe
*****************************************
C:\Documents and Settings\Tatsu>cd c:/

C:\Documents and Settings\Tatsu>cd c:\

C:\>
*****************************************
Only cd:\ is effective but c:/ is not effective.

In the octave build on mingw, both / and \ are effective.
