Looks like there is some special casing somewhere:
(gdb) show auto-load safe-path
List of directories from which it is safe to auto-load files is /usr/local.
(gdb) set auto-load safe-path :
(gdb) show auto-load safe-path
List of directories from which it is safe to auto-load files is :.
(gdb) set auto-load safe-path /
(gdb) show auto-load safe-path
Auto-load files are safe to load from any directory.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Then IIUC, that "from any directory" is simply not true on Windows -- and
I'd call it a bug. Files outside of the current drive won't auto-load.
