An example where it fails:

> path.normalize('\\MARK-MAIN\Users\Mark\.thumbnails\fail\..\normal')
'\\MARK-MAINUsersMark.thumbnails\fail..\normal'

What happened to all the backslashes?

You're using escape sequences rather than backslashes. '\\' is one backslash. '\U' is an unknown escape sequence, which I'm surprised made it through.

D:\scratch>node
> path.normalize('\\\\MARK-MAIN\\Users\\Mark\\.thumbnails\\fail\\..\\normal')
'\\\\MARK-MAIN\\Users\\Mark\\.thumbnails\\normal'
> path.normalize('//MARK-MAIN/Users/Mark/.thumbnails/fail/../normal')
'\\\\MARK-MAIN\\Users\\Mark\\.thumbnails\\normal'
>

Try doubling up your backslashes, the UNC path then looks correct.
