What you're seeing is the side-effect of how mingw-compiled programs

mingw-compiled programs automatically link in support for wildcard
expansion of arguments passed in via the Windows GetCommandLine(). So
you'll often see extra quotes being consumed, and other such effects.
It's unavoidable when dealing with Windows..
