I am baffled.
Me too. Apparently this is some bug deep in the bowels of Windows that triggers when neither SystemDrive nor ProgramData are defined in the environment and a new console session gets created. It seems I can work around getting the extra directories created by defining SystemDrive in a certain nonsensical way, but it really is an ugly hack; I'll have to see if there's a better fix.
