So I suspect we can get rid of that icky C code in getNativePath entirely, perhaps simply replacing it by java calls to getPath() or similar functionality extracted from something in NIO2, which is in jdk7 since b50. Eliminating this native code would be good although I don't think we'll find code that is completely compatible with the existing behavior. For example, in addition to normalizing the path separator, it trims trailing spaces. If you passed such input to FileSystem.getDefault().getPath method it would reject it immediately (because trailing spaces are prohibited in directory names). The simplest solution is probably to put this trimming in the Windows java.lang.ProcessImpl. I don't think it needs to worry about the separator because the working directory should already be normalized.
