[issue41565] from os.path import join join('3', '{:3') return '{:3' in windows

I'm fairly sure this is intended behaviour, see <https://docs.python.org/3.8/library/os.path.html#os.path.join>.

The second arguments is "{:3", the colon means this is interpreted as the the relative path "3" on drive "}:".  I'm not sure if "}" could ever be valid drive letter, but ":" can definitely be used in filenames.
