From an internal thread:

Repro is very simple, create a folder named “Open_me_in_Windows_Terminal;calc.exe;”, copy “calc.exe” inside the folder and then, from within the folder, Right Click -> Open in Windows Terminal. You should see calc starting.

It even works without the exe ext, you can rename to folder foo;calc and rename calc.exe to only calc. Works with any name

There's a mail thread about this.

I fixed this in #11314 I think. I can't repro it in Terminal preview (1.13.10395.0), but can repro it in old-stable (1.11.3471.0)
