Interesting, and fully documented in the File Names and Minibuffer
File nodes of the Emacs manual:
| Note that it is legitimate to type an absolute file name after you
| enter the minibuffer, ignoring the presence of the default directory
| name as part of the text. The final minibuffer contents may look

| `/usr/tmp//x1/rms/foo'; but Emacs ignores everything through the first
| slash in the double slash; the result is `/x1/rms/foo'. *Note
| Minibuffer File::.
The one thing the Minibuffer File node doesn't explain about that is
the way it interacts with completion: typing a TAB erases the ignored
part of the double slash path.
