"The current directory on ruby mswin32" is in C:?  So it just
works as like as "dir C:" does.

What do you expect?

$ ri Dir.open
-------------------------------------------------------------- Dir::open
     Dir.open( string ) => aDir
     Dir.open( string ) {| aDir | block } => anObject
------------------------------------------------------------------------
     With no block, +open+ is a synonym for +Dir::new+. If a block is
     present, it is passed _aDir_ as a parameter. The directory is
     closed at the end of the block, and +Dir::open+ returns the value
     of the block.

What and how inconsistent do you feel?
