You are wrong.
The code in question is in a includefile that is only included under
Windows, where PathDelim = DirectorySeparator = '\', always (it's a
constant).

The filename should have been a clue here (as is the include direcory
of it's main unit file):
($lazarus)\components\lazutils\winlazfileutils.inc.
I just preferred writing PathDelim when I wrote that piece of code.
