Comment (by shreya0shrivastava):
Hi, I was able to reproduce this issue on 7.1-alpha-62161-src and
confirmed the bug is still present.
The fix passes $file through wp_normalize_path() after
_wp_relative_upload_path(),
which converts all backslashes to forward slashes before the value is
stored
in postmeta, preventing wp_unslash() from corrupting the path.
Submitted a patch. Happy to make any changes based on feedback!
