Some additional notes:

if I launch b2.exe from a shortcut, it works properly. If I launch it form
a CMD console it doesn't. In both cases the process binary image and the
environment variables are identical (seen with SysInternals Process
Explorer). The only difference that I could see with SysInternals Process
Monitor is in the call stack for builtin_glob. When the sub-call to
file_query()->file_info() returns found=true, the end result is correct. On
the other hand, when file_query()->file_info() returns found=false, a
recursive call to file_query()->file_query() starts, canonicWindowsPath is
never called, and the final result is wrong.

Why in one case does file_query()->file_info() returns true, while in the
other it returns false? What could be the difference in launching b2.exe
from a shortcut and by typing b2.exe in a CMD console, that could make the
program execution diverge at this point?

GOOD call stack (launched from windows explorer shortcut):
