Please try it with the latest release. "ssh someuser@somehost cmd.exe /C dir" should not produce the directory output of the user's home directory.

New releases have fixed the issues. Windows cmd shell commands are to be run using cmd /c command format but other external commands can be run directly without cmd. E.g. all these will work:
ssh someuser@somehost cmd /C dir
ssh someuser@somehost cmd /C set
ssh someuser@somehost hostname
ssh someuser@somehost myprogram.exe
