Thanks for the tip!

Didn't help, unfortunately. :-/

Looks like the above translation (i.e. from ascii 58 to ascii 95) was
part of the original value of nnheader-file-name-translation-alist on a
windows emacs:

nnheader-file-name-translation-alist is a variable defined in ‘nnheader.el’.

Its value is shown below.
[snip!]
Value: ((58 . 95))
Original value was 
((58 . 95)
 (42 . 95)
 (34 . 95)
 (60 . 95)
 (62 . 95)
 (63 . 95))
