I can't seem to reproduce this on 2.16.2.windows.1, either:

+ git --version
git version 2.16.2.windows.1
+ git init woot
Initialized empty Git repository in /woot/.git/
+ cd woot
+ mkdir subdir
+ echo test
+ echo test
+ git add meh.txt subdir/meh2.txt
+ git commit '--message=stash bug testing'
[master (root-commit) afec47d] stash bug testing
 2 files changed, 2 insertions(+)
 create mode 100644 meh.txt
 create mode 100644 subdir/meh2.txt
+ git commit '--message=stash bug testing'
On branch master
nothing to commit, working tree clean
+ echo test
+ echo append
+ git stash push subdir
Saved working directory and index state WIP on master: afec47d stash bug testing
+ ls subdir
meh2.txt  untracked.txt
