Python appends "\*.*" to the path, so in the case in which the leaf element is a file, FindFirstFile naturally fails with ERROR_PATH_NOT_FOUND.

Python 3.5+ could maybe switch to calling CreateFile to open a handle and GetFileInformationByHandleEx to get the FILE_ID_BOTH_DIR_INFO (added in Vista, so this couldn't be backported to 2.7). It would first have to get the FILE_BASIC_INFO for the file attributes to ensure that the target is a directory. This could also support listing directories by file descriptor on Windows, since the CRT has O_OBTAIN_DIR (0x2000) for opening a directory.
