[racket] -S / --search doesn't work on Windows?

It's not due to slash vs. backslash, or to the folder not existing.

Even simpler example:

c:\Users\Greg\>racket -S C:\Users\Greg -e (current-library-collection-paths)
'(#<path:C:\Program Files (x86)\Racket\collects>)

The path supplied by -S is still missing.

On OS X it is included.
