This failure is probably coming (fat fingers today...)

Hmmm, I dug deeper into the wine source and wine_unix_to_nt_file_name
in the dlls/ntdll:path.c file seems to sometimes prefix the path with
"\??\unix" (with two question marks), so you seem to have mistyped the
above (and not copy-pasted an actual session as I originally thought).
It also seems we can forget about the forward slash variant? But I'm
not regularly running wine, so someone who does should chime in with
verification.
