Issue #4404 has been updated by Usaku NAKAMURA.

\ in glob parameter has special meaning.
So, we can't treat it as directory separator.
This is described in RDoc of Dir#[].

 Hello all.
 Related to 
 
 http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/2625
 
 I at times find myself using windows paths in glob's:
 
 Dir[%!C:\Users\Public\Desktop\*!]
 
 But it never works, as the backslash must be (manually, or programmatically) replaced by a forward slash.
 Could we get the default behavior changed for windows on this? That would be swell.
 
 Thank you!
