OK; issue2304 is now fixed and closed. But it doesn't seem to make any difference to this behaviour. I've just retested and I see on py3k the behaviour the OP saw. CreateProcess does the same thing and I couldn't even get it to work with multiply-nested quotes. So I would maintain it's not a Python issue as such.

I'm closing as won't fix and leave it to the OP to reopen if he feels there's something which could be done.
