the parent process would be "sh.exe" in the msys case, contrary to the 
windows standard cmd.exe, explorer.exe, system, system idle 
process, ...

an example is the mercurial "status" command, see 
http://selenic.com/repo/index.cgi/hg/file/8bf6eb68ddaf/mercurial/comman
ds.py#l2752

which uses 
http://selenic.com/repo/index.cgi/hg/file/8bf6eb68ddaf/mercurial/util.p
y#l210 (pathto, ), and normpath = os.path.normcase(path).

which does at the end:
 sys.stdout.write(str(a))

when string the string goes out on stdout or stderr it is not known 
any more it was a file path. hmm.
