Comment (by henri@…):

 Thanks for the fix.

 In the meantime, I realized why we were running into this.  On Windows,
 libraries have virtual names of the form "::[GUID]/[name].library-ms" and
 thus would trigger the issue.  (Aside: code should not attempt to create a
 directory with such a name, but legacy code not used to dealing with
 Windows library nodes probably have cases that fall into the creation
 action... at least, that was our situation.)
