After double checking the source code I can think of only one chance:
Your /etc/passwd file doesn't contain the correct home dir.

Reasoning:

- OpenSSH _always_ uses pw_dir from the users /etc/passwd file,
  _never_ the environment variable $HOME.

- Your environment contains the following values:
  $HOMEDRIVE=C:
  $HOMEDIR=\
  This are the values which are a typical sign for having
  no home directory set in NT's SAM.

- The NT SAM user entry is used by mkpasswd to create your
  pw_dir entry as well. An empty hoemdir in the SAM results
  in an empty pw_dir entry in /etc/passwd.

- sprintf("%s/.ssh/config", pw->pw_dir) results in 
  "/.ssh/config" then.

Hope, that helps,
Corinna
