I confirmed the bug is fixed.

I found another odd behavior of File#stat.

File#stat of some directory + ".." always works on Windows even if the
directory is not exists.

C:\work>ruby -e 'p File.stat("./notexist")'
-e:1:in `stat': No such file or directory - ./notexist (Errno::ENOENT)
        from -e:1:in `<main>'

C:\work>ruby -e 'p File.stat("./notexist/..")'
#<File::Stat dev=0x2, ino=0, mode=040755, nlink=1, uid=0, gid=0, rdev=0x2, size=
0, blksize=nil, blocks=nil, atime=2012-08-14 16:44:54 +0900, mtime=2012-08-13 19
:28:30 +0900, ctime=2011-06-07 16:06:03 +0900>

C:\work>ruby -e 'p File.stat("../notexist")'
-e:1:in `stat': No such file or directory - ../notexist (Errno::ENOENT)
        from -e:1:in `<main>'

C:\work>ruby -e 'p File.stat("../notexist/..")'
#<File::Stat dev=0x2, ino=0, mode=040755, nlink=1, uid=0, gid=0, rdev=0x2, size=
0, blksize=nil, blocks=nil, atime=2012-08-14 16:45:37 +0900, mtime=2012-08-10 09
:40:33 +0900, ctime=2011-04-08 19:43:44 +0900>

Here is Linux behavior.

[tmp]$ ruby -ve 'File.stat("./notexist")'
ruby 1.8.7 (2011-02-18 patchlevel 334) [x86_64-linux]
-e:1:in `stat': No such file or directory - ./notexist (Errno::ENOENT)
        from -e:1
[tmp]$ ruby -ve 'File.stat("./notexist/..")'
ruby 1.8.7 (2011-02-18 patchlevel 334) [x86_64-linux]
-e:1:in `stat': No such file or directory - ./notexist/.. (Errno::ENOENT)
        from -e:1

Is this a bug or feature?
