I'd expect so unless a folder exists with that path name. Don't ask me why, 
I just do.

Curiously, it seemed to not matter before, I'd get the image into the proper 
folder anyhow. With beta 28 uninstalled I can't recheck that but I have 
rendered many scene files with only the povray.ini telling where to put 
them, backslash or not... until this beta complained.
Simple syntax things like this gets easily forgotten by me over time. I 
wouldn't know if or when the correct way to write file paths ever changed 
since I get one way working and move on from there.  ; )
