fontconfig's CACHEDIR.TAG is created in a strange folder location

GIMP version:

2.10.22

Operating System:

Windows 10

Package:

Installer downloaded directly from gimp.org

Description of the bug

Gimp Version 2.10.22 is producing a folder named "a" on my dedicated data drive when the program is opened and then immediately closed. If I drill down the folder structure, I eventually reach the file CACHEDIR.TAG in the sub-folder d:_temp\msys\msys64\var\cache\fontconfig. This folder also contains a file with a long alpah-numerica file name (ef9c9ad8cc...)

Reproduction

Is the bug reproducible?

Always

Reproduction steps:

  1. Run Gimp
  2. Close Gimp
  3. Check directory of d:\

…

Expected result:

No folder named d:\a

Actual result:

Folder d:\a is created

Additional information

This behaviour does not occur in Gimp Version 2.10.18-2
