No, it does not. Your experiments uncovered bugs elsewhere with the implementations of _wgetenv and WINAPI GetEnvironmentVariableW, but this isn't one of them. _wputenv(L"victor==secret") updates the OS environment by calling SetEnvironmentVariableW(L"victor", L"=secret"). That is the only correct result. A variable name is only allowed to contain "=" as the first character, where it is unambiguous. The first "=" beyond the first character must be the value delimiter.
