Because the syntax of the command invoked by find-name-dired, viz.

assumes a Posix shell which needs some special characters escaped
with a backslash and removes those backslashes before passing the
command-line arguments to `find'.
In other words, you should try to modify the command by removing all
the backslashes. That should work on Windows.
Another alternative is to find a ported Bash and point shell-file-name
to its executable file.
