It seems this problem is due to the use of File::Spec->catfile in
conjunction with File::Glob::bsd_glob.

File::Glob documentation has this warning:

"Win32 users should use the real slash."

It seems like the following fix:

2.62  - fix rt.cpan.org#115326: Callback on 'pre_open' not called
        when glob expands to one include file


resulted exercising a previously hidden problem with passing paths
containing `\` to bsd_glob.

Now, judiciously replacing `catfile` calls, with "$dir/$file" in
Config::General results in all tests passing as I note in

FYI.
