} I've reproduced this but haven't looked in detail yet.
} 
} It looks vaguely like the extra / is confusing it into thinking 2/3/4/
} is an empty file in the directory 2/3/4.

Not an empty file, but a file named (empty string).

Empty string sorts before 3 the same as empty string sorts before 5 and
6.  This is all the same side-effect.
