My guess is there is a \ somewhere that's being interpreted as an escape character and not a literal.

Please paste the contents of your mozconfig.

This is without a mozconfig.

I'm without access to a Windows machine while I'm in Asia. Perhaps someone else can reproduce and track this down.

I was not able to reproduce this, using Windows 8, mozilla-build 1.9.0pre, and m-c tip.  I tried both with and without a mozconfig.

Hmm I've tried using MozillaBuild's msys and I don't get the error, but with the one I use day to day (from http://www.mingw.org/) I do.

I'll try and find a moment to dig into this deeper.
(Sorry hadn't hit issues before using the newer msys so had forgotten I wasn't even using the MozillaBuild one with ConEmu)
If this is something that only repros with non-stock MozillaBuild then I think it's WONTFIX.

Not if it turns out to be due to the newer msys version, given bug 791511 :-)
