... but this is puzzling me, because I know I've fixed it in commit
9cf8a79 (2017-02-16). Can you please double-check this one? Otherwise I
would have to wonder whether the beta.3 installer really contains what's
tagged as beta.3 on GitHub.

The problem only arises with relative paths that effectively go two
levels up (or more) from whatever is considered the base directory at
that point.

Let me guess: There also happens to be an "include.inc" in the current
directory?


Also, just for clarity: Am I right in assuming that this all happens
only on the Windows machine?

We'll see whether it can be explained with a hidden variables theory.
