Fails on Bazel's CI for Bazel >= 7.3 on Windows

[avdv]

Describe the bug
The test module run for PR bazelbuild/bazel-central-registry#3288 fails on Windows:

C:/b/bk-windows-j20f/bazel-org-repo-root/output/rules_sh-0.5.0/tests/sh_binaries/BUILD.bazel:3:23: Executing genrule //sh_binaries:genrule failed: (Exit 127): bash.exe failed: error executing Genrule command (from target //sh_binaries:genrule)
...
/usr/bin/bash: line 1: c:\\b\\3mrahdhj\\execroot\\_main\\bazel-out\\x64_windows-fastbuild\\bin\\sh_binaries\\hello_world.exe.runfiles/_main/sh_binaries/hello_world: No such file or directory

See https://buildkite.com/bazel/bcr-presubmit/builds/9106

To Reproduce
Run bazel test ... in tests directory on Windows with Bazel >= 7.3.

Expected behavior
All tests should pass.

Environment

• OS name + version: Windows
• Bazel version: 7.3.0 - 7.4.1
• Version of the rules: 0.5.0

Note, this only happens when using --build_tests_only (which is used by default on BCR tests).

I tracked this down to bazelbuild/bazel@282ac62 bazelbuild/bazel@610fe7b

@fmeum do you have an idea how I can fix this? Should I create an issue in bazelbuild/bazel?

[fmeum]

Thanks for catching this. Could you file an issue on the Bazel repo? This needs a fix and probably also a point release. I'll dig into why it happens.
