I'm not sure ambiguity enters into it. I think perhaps the bad detection of
the option happens because the CD command can ignore spaces in its
argument. Since it is ignoring spaces they don't actually require a space
after the option strings.
Any other Microsoft commands I try all complain about 'invalid switch'.

Simply that I hadn't changed to the root directory first so there was no
subdirectory named 'windows'.
