Observation confirmed by looking at the mingw64 source code:
http://mingw-w64.sourcearchive.com/doc
The 'stat' module makes two checks:
checking whether stat handles trailing slashes on directories...
checking whether stat handles trailing slashes on files...
On native Windows, the results are:

checking whether stat handles trailing slashes on directories... no
