Thierry asked whether you tried (file-name-directory "d:\bar\") ?
That should be (file-name-directory "d:\\bar\\"), although I'm not sure it
will be any different from (file-name-directory "d:/bar/").
My experience is that some Windows shell commands (XCopy, for example) will
need the trailing backslash specified for directories. Maybe whatever Win32
API Emacs is calling is enforcing this rule. So I think this might not be
a planner or muse issue, but Windows or Emacs issue.
If you want to use exactly the same .emacs file for more than one machine,
you might need code to detect whether you're running on Windows, and, if so,
perform workarounds to these kinds of issues.

Well, I am wondering where exactly the problem lies. I played a
bit more with file-name-directory on my Emacs (22.1.1 on windows
XP). And in general, it seems that if the argument of file name
ends with a slash, the whole argument is returned, otherwise, the
part up to the last slash:
(file-name-directory "d:/projects/") gives "d:/projects/"
where projects is a valid directory, and
(file-name-directory "d:/projects") gives "d:/"
file-name-directory does not seem to care whether the path is an
existent one or not. Trying
(fine-name-directory "d:/bar") gives "d:/"
even though bar is a non-existent directory (there is a directory foo)
and trying
(fine-name-directory "d:/bar/") gives "d:/bar"
