Perhaps we have uncovered a bug in abbreviate-file-name, don't
know. I'll check when time permits.

However, it isn't related to the change in question of this bug report,
handling expand-file-name for constructs like "/:~..." and
"/ssh:host:/:~...".  abbreviate-file-name has been used to create a
temporary test file for this case, it isn't target of the test itself.

Best regards, Michael.
