Thanks for your comments. 

I played a bit inside Visual Studio and it seems ':' is not only valid at
path[1]. For example, the following path doesn't throw any error: "C:\\::",
which is weird because no directory can be named after "::" in Windows AFAIK.

Also, "%:\\" doesn't throw any error either.

I'm trying to find the most relevant test cases in order to fix my patch (with
the other problems mentioned).
