This is true, but I believe the point Henry was making is that the globbing
finds Win style paths. It seems to me that he may have made a typo in his
mail. If under windows you try:

C:\TEST> ls tmpdir\\tmp.txt
tmpdir\tmp.txt

(.... ls reports tmp.txt exists even though the path specifier is incorrect)

Under unix:
[sundev:/home/ccox ] ls tmpdir\\tmp.txt
ls: tmpdir\tmp.txt : No such file or directory

(.... ls fails to find tmp.txt since the path specifier is incorrect)
