I traced this one down (and it's not Windows specific). It looks like 
it's trying to compare a Regexp to a Regexp with the =~ method, which is 
illegal. This is what that particular test to doing:

irb(main):001:0> /\Aa\Z/ =~ /a|b/
TypeError: can't convert Regexp into String
         from (irb):1

I'm not sure what the proper behavior is for Gem::Dependency because it 
is poorly documented. So, I don't know if the behavior is wrong or the 
test itself is bad.
