Interesting, I just started using Conkeror and tried to figure this
out yesterday. But in my case it did work. To review, I saved a file
".conkerorrc" in directory and typed:
M-: user_pref('conkeror.rcfile', 'c:\\tmp\\.conkerorrc');
I then double-checked the backslashes in about:config, looking at the
conkeror.rcfile entry. They show up as single backslashes.
Not sure if it makes a difference, but I'm using the version from the
Git repository.

I'd be curious too, for the same reason. On Linux it was easy to see
what I was doing wrong when learning to set up my conkerorrc file, but
on Windows it seems tricky to know what's going on.
Let me know if you want me to test/compare anything else!

PS: I joined the list after reading Mark's email, so I'm not sure if
my email will show up as a reply to his.
