@ianthehat has more experience with Windows than I do and should take a second look. This change looks good to me, but I have a few readability comments, and there's a test failure.
So if I understand correctly, in order to be safe on Windows, we need to make every path absolute before calling any file API on Windows? Is this a common problem, or does it affect a few things (protoc) that have particularly long paths?

Without any comment here, we'll probably forget why this is here and remove it in six months. :)
It would also be good to have a more detailed comment on abs itself that references path_windows.go as you did in the commit message.

Move the abs call to *outPath next to tmpDir above and use the result here. The comment can explain why both are needed.

defer os.RemoveAll(tmpDir) instead of calling it at the end.

Looks like tests are failing because //go/builders:filter_test does not include env.go, which it now needs.
Go can handle long file names on Windows if they are not relative. This change makes some file paths absolute so that go can handle them. See https://github.com/golang/go/blob/b86e76681366447798c94abb959bb60875bcc856/src/os/path_windows.go#L133. The protoc binary cannot handle long filenames either, so this change generates go protos in the temporary folder and then moves the contents into place.
Yes.
