The spec for ServletContext.getRealPath() says:

  Returns a String containing the real path for a given virtual path.
  ... The real path will be in a form appropriate to the computer and
  operating system on which the servlet container is running, including
  the appropriate path separators.

It seems to me that the current behavior conforms to this requirement, and that
(in fact) the Tomcat 3.2 behavior is incorrect for some operating systems.
