After:
emacs -q
in the Options menu I can see that `Use Directory Names in Buffer
Names' is checked. Then:
M-! mkdir a; mkdir b; touch a/test; touch b/test
C-xC-f a/test
C-xC-f b/test
Then there are two buffers named `test|a' and `test|b'. Uncheck
`Use...' in the Options menu and check again `Use...' in the
Options menu. Now buffers are named `a/test' and `b/test'. The
buffer name style has changed!!
Line 12227 of `menu-bar.el' and line 96 of uniquify.el define
different defaults for `uniquify-buffer-name-style'.

Why the default is `post-forward'? Its formatting "name|bar/mumble"
is too confusing, especially for newbies that might have a hard time
understanding what does this `|' mean that usually indicates the
logical `or' operator.
OTOH, `post-forward-angle-brackets' with "name<bar/mumble>"
is backward-compatible with the naming standard "name<2>"
so it doesn't break customizations in display-buffer-alist
that contains such regexps as "\\*Buffer\\*<[^>]+>".
