There does appear to be some issue here.  Even at the DOS prompt, the 
backslash needs to be escaped in order to work (in the example above).
Other Cygwin utilities don't have this problem.  It's worth noting that
the POSIX path and the "c:/test.rc" alternative paths both work fine
though with windres.
