But is `convert-standard-filename' used often enough?
A quick grep gives me the impression it doesn't cut it: most filenames that
come from arguments are presumed to be already valid and aren't passed
through `convert-standard-filename'. Only hardcoded filenames are passed
through `convert-standard-filename', it seems.

Are you sure? The problem is when re-building loaddefs.el which happens
after the first dump (i.e. the special bootstrap-dump). Are you saying that
the bootstrap-dump does not load w32-fns.el? How could that be? loadup.el
seems to load it whether it's the normal dump or the boostrap dump.
