I guess the above is the way to do it. Forward slashes is the Vim
default; they are normally (i.e. with 'noshellslash', an option defined
only on Dos/Windows/OS2) translated to backslashes when passing a path
to a Dos-like shell.

I'd call a feature (or a limitation depending on point of view), not a
bug. A feature because it means you can use forward slashes
cross-platform in Vim, an portability advantage for people who go
regularly from one platform to another. Working as portably as possible
on various platforms has always been one of the strong points of Vim.
Also an advantage for people who, like me, need an AltGr keychord to
type a backslash, hitting two keys simultaneously at opposite ends of
their national keyboard, but only a shift-chord, which can easily be
done with only the right hand, in order to type a forward slash.
