[ruby-core:104296] [Ruby master Bug#15621] system({}, ...) breaks nonascii ENV["PATH"] on Windows

Issue #15621 has been updated by jeremyevans0 (Jeremy Evans).

Status changed from Open to Closed

Starting in Ruby 3.0, it appears `ENV["PATH"]` is unmodified after the call to `system`.  In prior versions of Ruby, it was modified by the call to `system`.  This is probably related to the changes to `ENV` in Ruby 3.0, which will not be backported to earlier Ruby versions.

### Problem

It seems that `system({}, ...)` breaks nonascii `ENV["PATH"]` after execution.
`system(...)` isn't affected. Only `system(env, ...)` is affected.

OS: Windows 7
Ruby: https://github.com/oneclick/rubyinstaller2/releases/download/RubyInstaller-2.6.1-1/rubyinstaller-2.6.1-1-x64.exe
chcp: 現在のコード ページ: 932

### Expected

`system({}, ...)` doesn't break nonascii `ENV["PATH"]` environment variable after execution.

### Actual

Here is the sample code to reproduce this issue.

```
cat break-env-system.rb
# coding: cp932
ENV["PATH"] = [
  "インストール",
  ENV["PATH"],
].join(File::PATH_SEPARATOR)

env = {}
p ENV["PATH"]
system(env, "echo")
p ENV["PATH"]
```

It produces the following output:

```
"インストール;%SystemRoot%\\system32\\WindowsPowerShell\\v1.0\\;C:\\Windows\\system32;C:\\Windows;C:\\Windows\\System32\\Wbem;C:\\Windows\\System32\\WindowsPowerShell\\v1.0\\;C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Windows Kits\\8.1\\Windows Performance Toolkit\\;C:\\Program Files\\CMake\\bin;C:\\GnuWin32\\bin;C:\\Windows\\System32\\WindowsPowerShell\\v1.0\\;C:\\Program Files\\patch-2.5.9-7-bin\\bin;C:\\Windows\\System32\\WindowsPowerShell\\v1.0\\;C:\\Windows\\System32\\WindowsPowerShell\\v1.0\\;C:\\Ruby26-x64\\bin"
ECHO は <ON> です。
"?C???X?g?[??;%SystemRoot%\\system32\\WindowsPowerShell\\v1.0\\;C:\\Windows\\system32;C:\\Windows;C:\\Windows\\System32\\Wbem;C:\\Windows\\System32\\WindowsPowerShell\\v1.0\\;C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Windows Kits\\8.1\\Windows Performance Toolkit\\;C:\\Program Files\\CMake\\bin;C:\\GnuWin32\\bin;C:\\Windows\\System32\\WindowsPowerShell\\v1.0\\;C:\\Program Files\\patch-2.5.9-7-bin\\bin;C:\\Windows\\System32\\WindowsPowerShell\\v1.0\\;C:\\Windows\\System32\\WindowsPowerShell\\v1.0\\;C:\\Ruby26-x64\\bin"
```

If `system("echo")` is used instead of `system({}, "echo")`, `ENV["PATH"]` is not broken.
