It only works if the directory in question is /host:file, say if your
current directory is "/" (as Paul suggested), or if someone let
default-directory to "/".
In the debugger before the culprit file-directory-p is entered, I
checked on default-directory and it is "/". I can't figure out where
default-directory is set to "/" (otherwise I would just send you a
patch and not waste your time ...ok, I *would* send you a patch and
then waste your time on something else)).
