As you have already determined, Vim creates separate buffers for
these files (on MS-Windows):
:edit foo\boo\the_file
:edit foo\\boo\the_file
:edit foo\boo\\the_file
:edit foo\\boo\\the_file
Even though all the above paths point to the same file. The taglist
plugin relies on Vim to generate the correct buffer number for these
files. If Vim treats them as separate files, then the taglist plugin
also will treat them as separate files.
