Highlighting failed on Windows because the file paths contain backslashes. This
could potentially fail on *nix systems as well, if the paths contained
backslashes. Fixed by enabling very nomagic mode and escaping backslashes:
path_pattern = '\V' . escape(path, '')

LGTM, but could it use an exact match instead? (e.g. by comparing the full/absolute path)
