I am afraid you lost me here. By the time something gets to this function, it has already been parsed into individual argv strings. I am not sure which ones do you consider raw, or why should it make a difference. (lldb builtin interpreter has a concept of "raw" commands, but I don't think that's what you mean here)

This function should take those argv strings, no matter what they are, and recompose them into a single string. If those strings are wrong, then it's output will also be wrong, but that's not a problem of this function -- it's a problem of whoever parsed those strings.

I won't have access to a windows machine this week to check this out, but I can take a look at that next week. In the mean time, I would be fine with just xfailing the single test which fails because of this. I think that's a good tradeoff, as this would fix a bunch of other tests as well as unblock you on your lldb-server work.
