Aha! So that is why M-n does not do what I want...
This is really annoying.

I agree, and I would almost say it is a bug. As a user, being able to
develop habits in user interfaces is a good thing. A feature like this
hinders that, since the behavior changes depending on a certain content
in the buffer.
Why can't people just do M-x ffap RET?
On the other hand, now that I have actually tried C-x C-v out, perhaps I
will use that instead... :) A very common use case that I have, by the way
is that I want to copy the current file name, not necessarily reload the
current
file.
