This sounds like an emacs bug.  It's presumably not accepting the drive letter
as a valid part of the repository root.  Repository prefixes aren't going to
help here as you're in local mode, so you'll have to put a fix in emacs - IIRC
it's just lisp so you just have to find the bit of code that parses the root
and modify it.
