IIRC it is fixed in development branch of Org. You may want to use it or
wait for Org 8.3 to be released.

I cannot reproduce it. However, I don't use Windows either. The part of
code responsible for URI normalization is located in
`org-element-link-parser':

        (when (and (file-name-absolute-p path)
                   (not (org-string-match-p "\\`[/~]/" path)))
          (setq path (concat "//" path)))

The "c:" is added elsewhere.
