Yes, that seems a bug to me.  I have no idea if configure is used for Mingw
and I guess ':' works for Cygwin.  So I still do not see how to fix that.

Besides that for example 'set debug-file-directory' originally allowed only
one directory but for some years it allows a PATH-style list of directories.
Should it be therefore the old option name deprecated + renamed?
