Yes, but only because Emacs interprets the minibuffer contents as /foo
although it is /tmp//foo.
IMHO that is not very elegant. And it does not work as a general
approach: Consider some command with initial value foo, and imagine the
user types bar. How would Emacs know if he means foobar (minibuffer
contents) or just bar?
