The reason is quite simple, I wrote a package called w32utils.el which
does several things useful for MSWindows users, among which converting
path of marked files in Dired mode to various format, like URL for
navigator, for LaTeX hyperref, for orgmode, and backslashed MSWindows
path (that was the primary purpose), amongst other. 

This package also makes it easier to open bash shell buffers (using MSYS
bash) under emacs in MSWindows, and also allows some easier update of
the default-directory variable when you make CD to some path (like
changing the driver letter, or using the MSYS fstab links).

If you are interested in that I can put w32utils.el on my page and send you a
link. This is still very experimental, and the manual is not uptodate.

Well, this package makes a strict and complete conversion of paths to
URL, and this is the reason for the %3A.
