One case on w32 I could reproduce is the following: There is just one
special file "~/ file name with spaces ". The first test is OK, the
other two tests not (wrong handling of trailing spaces)

(file-exists-p "~/ file name with spaces ")
=> t

(file-exists-p "~/ file name with spaces")
=> t

(directory-files "~/")
=> (" file name with spaces" ...)

Best regards, Michael.
