maildir-windows-compatible = yes option, not working as expected

[thephatmaster]

I'm having some difficulty getting the maildir-windows-compatible = yes option to allow me to have my MailDir on FAT storage (an SD card on a small dual-boot device)

It seems : is still present in filenames that offlineimap is trying to create
