Research direction
Start in lua/plenary/path.lua around line 490, where the reported file-creation failure occurs, and inspect how Windows paths are handled when 'shellslash' produces forward slashes. Reproduce the error with a path like C:/Users/user/... and verify that file creation no longer prepends a second Windows path prefix.

Description
When I define 'shellslash', Windows paths look like C:/Users/user/.... This results in multiple failures starting from incorrect path.sep detected, leading to errors like:
E5108: Error executing lua ...a/site/pack/paqs/start/plenary.nvim/lua/plenary/path.lua:490: Could not create file: C:\Users\user\C:/Users/user/AppData/Local/nvim-data/telescope_history
