This currently fails because the windows only realpath implementation in pbd/pathexpand.cc, which is called from PBD::canonical_path to resolve the path uses Glib::locale_from/to_utf8. As I demonstrated in the testOpenFileUTF8Filename test case Glib::locale_from/to_utf8 are not the correct functions to use for this use case as it converts to/from utf-8 to the locale's current character encoding. On Windows this is most often a single byte encoding such as Windows-1252 and conversion will fail if the path contains any characters that are not in system codepage.
When building with MSVC make sure any backends / panners etc get copied to the correct target folder
