I do not think we intend to create temporary files, whose final destination is somewhere under $GIT_DIR/, in any working tree; rather, I think we try to create them inside $GIT_DIR (or possibly if the destination is a file in a subdirectory of $GIT_DIR, then in the same subdirectory). What you are seeing definitely smells like a bug in the worktree code, perhaps getting confused by the fact that the full path to these places look "unusual" by starting with a single alphabet followed by a colon (IOW, this may manifest only in Windows port).
