If Emacs would only get a relative file name it would have no chance to 
find the file. As I wrote in another letter it also gets the cwd, but in 
those cases we are discussing here it gets the wrong cwd.

So this is actually a bug that we should fix. It should be rather easy 
to do that by just using the cwd for the given file name's drive so to say.
