Should be fixed now:

 2007-09-12  Tim-Philipp Müller  <tim at centricular dot net>

        * gst/gsturi.c: (gst_uri_get_location):
          If there's no hostname, we want to return 'c:/foo/bar.txt'
          and not '/c:/foo/bar.txt' on Windows. Fixes #469402.

        * tests/check/gst/gsturi.c:
          Unit test for the above and a few more things.

g_filename_from_uri() is not really an option because it only handles the
'file://' protocol, and other protocols may include file paths too.  Besides,
it's a bit awkward since you'd also need to prepend the hostname to the return
value of _from_uri().

Don't think so.  Do you have links that suggest otherwise?
