I think all these cases are user error, `(emacs) Quoted File Names' says

    You can "quote" an absolute file name [...] add ‘/:’ at the beginning

But you cannot quote a relative file name, which looks like what
you're trying to do here. It might better to throw an error than
return nonsense (though possibly not worth the trouble).
