I guess it has to do with the backslashes on windows, especially the

But I'm afraid the trailing space cannot be used as a workaround
in many cases. Actually AFAIK Windows can also digest forward
slashes internally as path separators...
Internally, yes, but I don't think command.com can handle them.
Maybe the solution is, when parsing a string definition, to treat
a trailing \" as if it were \\" (\" could never be a valid
ending for a string literal).
Allin.
