xelatex gives duplicate snippets after changing outputdir

[hyjz2018]

after changing the output-directory and outputdir cmd line is

xelatex -shell-escape -output-directory="C:/Users/hy-jz/tmp/tex" demo.tex

demo.tex is like

\documentclass[12pt,openany]{book}
\usepackage[outputdir="C:/Users/hy-jz/tmp/tex"]{minted}
%\usepackage{minted}
% cachedir="C:/Users/hy-jz/tmp/tex"

\newminted{sh}{frame=single}
\begin{document}

\chapter{chap 1 }
text 
\section{sec 1}
\begin{shcode}
#!/bin/bash
echo 1
\end{shcode}

\begin{shcode}
#!/bin/bash
echo 2
\end{shcode}

\begin{minted}{shell}
#!/bin/bash
echo 3
\end{minted}

\begin{minted}{shell}
#!/bin/bash
echo 4
\end{minted}
\end{document}

but demo.pdf shows duplicate snippets:

while changing to

pdflatex -shell-escape -output-directory="C:/Users/hy-jz/tmp/tex" demo.tex it gives correct result.

xelatex on both windows and linux(Fedora) have the same problem.

xelatex 3.14159265-2.6-0.999992 works here on macOS.

May not be related: Do the double quotation marks in \usepackage[outputdir="C:/Users/hy-jz/tmp/tex"]{minted} necessary?

The output directory should be specified using an absolute path or a path relative
to the document root directory. Paths should use forward slashes, even under
Windows. Special characters must be escaped, while spaces require quoting and
need the entire hdirectoryi to be wrapped in curly braces {}

@hyjz2018 Try using \usepackage[outputdir=C:/Users/hy-jz/tmp/tex]{minted}, without quotation marks. It looks like pdflatex and xelatex are handling file paths differently, and for some reason xelatex can't process quotation marks. The manual will need to be updated unless there's a way to get things to work uniformly across TeX engines.
