Hrm. Just picking an example at random, t7006 fails because it uses --exec-path="`pwd`". And of course colons are meaningful in any PATH-like context. It would be nice to be able to handle that case cleanly, but I think we would be breaking compatibility.

So while it would be nice to work on paths with colons everywhere, I doubt it is worth the effort to start checking it through the whole test suite.
