Wolfgang Maier added the comment:

Just found issue15451, which reports a similar inconsistency between Windows 
and POSIX for 'PATH' provided through the Popen env parameter as for cwd. It 
seems that, on POSIX-platforms, the PATH environment variable passed through 
env affects the executable lookup if executable does *not* contain a dirname, 
but on Windows the new PATH never affects executable lookup. So, again, 
relative executable paths are causing platform-specific behavior.
