Hi Mary,
AFAIK it breaks nothing if you restore backups into a Windows server from a known source i.e. a known Moodle instance: it would be nice not to have a mixture of \ and / when restoring a backup coming from a Linux hosted Moodle, time to re-ping the Tracker?
IMHO while waiting for the official fix - which will probably found the root for those \/ - the safest option is to clone the production site and test the import there, the wiser is to create a new backup from your local Moodle instance where the course backup has been successfully imported: maybe using a Windows->Windows backup will not trigger that issue.
HTH,
Matteo
