On Win9x,ME RegCreateKeyEx ignores the backslash character if the subkey begins with one. With a regression test.
Note that I'm not against this being committed, but another test you could add is for the comment,
/* win9x,ME ignores one (and only one) beginning backslash */
the (and only one) part. You could use the same test as the one you added, but with two backslashes prepended and see if it fails. I haven't tested this myself (I only have > NT) but I'm curious if only one beginning backslash is ignored.

I did test that and mentioned the (and only one) part, because that is not what I read on MSDN: "beginning backslash characters ... are ignored".
I didn't think it was really needed to add the test to the suite, it is already a win9x exception, the cases of multiple backslash characters was never broken in the first place.
