Whatever gets decided wrt this bug report, please ensure
that the Emacs docs make clear what the behavior is.
In particular, let's tell users that "Emacs doesn't
support drive-relative file names on Windows." So,
e.g., it interprets "x:" as the root directory on
drive x.
(Perhaps the behavior is already documented, in which
case no change is needed - dunno.)
