Good point. I know little about possible mount points in w32. Can another volume be mounted say under c:/some/path/a/bit/down?
It gets a bit worse if you have file names like "c:/some/path/d:hidden.txt". In this case Emacs will not complain when saving the file. Instead a hidden stream is created.

Why do you call it "awkward"? It's a feature, and that's its syntax. CMD does not do a very good job of handling streams, but for example in 4NT you can do:
