To recap, the '=' in the title is a feature (:help 'title'),
the missing ':' in the title is most likely misreporting on
my part, and the missing drive indicator in buffer name
is yet another feature.

There was still the issue of me seeing two buffers for the
same file, one buffer with the drive letter and the other
without the drive letter.

Figured out why I am seeing multiple buffers for the same file.

It is because in addition to having opened the file via it's path, I have also opened the file via a link (Windows mklink /D command) to it.

And it looks like vim does not realize that the two paths are to the same file, and so is creates two buffers.

I used mklink command to create a directory link to a directory containing the file. The actual file and the link are on two
different drives.  The buffer for the path involving the c: drive
is missing the drive indicator, and the path involving the d:
drive has the drive indicator (if the local directory is not
already in the upper portion of the path).

I assume the same situation (multiple buffers for the same file opened
via links) is present on unix too.
