Apparent bug with file upward-search on Windows

Hello,
I've read the section on upward search (:help file-searching), and believe I
understand how it's supposed to work. The example in the help works the way I
expect on Linux, but not on Windows.

Specifically, I created the following set of files and directories to match
the example from the help:

C:/Users/stahlmanb/tmp/u/user_x/work/release/test.c
C:/Users/stahlmanb/tmp/u/user_x/include/test.h

Note: To make things work on Windows, I've simply replaced Linux `/' with the
following Windows path: C:/Users/stahlmanb/tmp/

Then, within Vim...
cd C:/Users/stahlmanb/tmp/u/user_x/work/release
e test.c
set path=include;C:/Users/stahlmanb/tmp/u/user_x

Hitting gf with the cursor positioned on test.h (inside test.c) produces...
E447: Can't find file "test.h" in path

I recreated the same test on Linux, replacing...
C:/Users/stahlmanb/tmp/
...with...
/home/stahlman/tmp/
...and everything worked as expected: test.h was found in the
/home/stahlman/tmp/u/user_x/include directory.

Is there something I've missed that could explain the discrepancy, or is this
a bug?

Thanks,
Brett Stahlman
