According to Microsoft documentation (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms724884(v=vs.85).aspx) when using the REG_EXPAND_SZ value type, environment variables (e.g. %programfiles%) should be expanded to their values (e.g. 'C:\Program Files'). 
I've added a test case that reproduces this error.

Further documentation on the RegEnumValue function (used by the _winreg module): http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms724865(v=vs.85).aspx. The documentation doesn't say whether the string is expanded or not on retrieval. 
Given the current behaviour plus the ExpandEnvironmentStrings function, this seems like a non-issue.

Yep. The documentation you linked says "A null-terminated string that contains unexpanded references to environment variables (for example, "%PATH%"). It will be a Unicode or ANSI string depending on whether you use the Unicode or ANSI functions. To expand the environment variable references, use the ExpandEnvironmentStrings function."
Based on that, we're doing the right thing.
