This comment is true for the source part, template, but I can't find where the destination, wtemplate, suddenly gets the drive prefix. As far as I can see, xutftowcs_path() just does a plain textual conversion without any interpretation of the text as path. Can you explain it?

BTW, iswalpha() is not restricted to ASCII letters, I would rewrite it as (wtemplate[0] <= 127 && isalpha(wtemplate[0]).
