I am guessing the reason.

Somewhere ROOT gets using CINT instead or the regular "compiled"
call.
  As result the NT Path with "backslashes" was passed through C++ interpreter
  as a regular text line and all pairs like

                  "path separator" + letter

 were replaced by CINT (and it is correct behavior ! ) to some letter or "binary code"

 for example  c:\n\tg.ps
 '\n' will give us "end-of-line", ' \t' is replaced with the symbol "TAB" etc etc.

 Since call was done via CINT  it is quite complicate to "calculate".
 its place.

 May be ROOT team can advice where I should look for .
