The problem is that "IsPath" really means "quote this like a path on the command line".
The value above *does* need such quoting.  We cannot make the !IsPath code path
do the quoting because it is not expected to do so.  This is kind of a corner case
where the link item is a flag that contains a path that needs to be treated as a
path.  Major refactoring would be needed to encode that information structurally
so for now please make your logic recognize this case and work around it.
