until now I wasn't able to reproduce the problem with a
separate script in an isolated environment. I think I'm

Looking at it again the output from the working version said ...
,----
| verbose: Skipping iteration since variable 'dirs_to_delete' resolves
| to an empty list
`----
That doesn't have far to trace. It comes from dirs_found (derived from

(ENT-11923)
- Fixed bug related to failing backwards directory traversial when
using forward slashes in path argument of the findfiles_up() policy
function on Windows.
