Well, I don't know how that function works, but I find the current
behavior annoying.

This is how I hit this bug: sometimes I open a C file, which begins
with a comment header at the very beginning of the file, like this:

/*******************
* blah blah blah...
**********************/

and when I open the file, I realize that that is not the file I want
to visit, and then intuitively I do "C-x C-v M-n".  Then I found quite
strange the "X:/*******************" I see in the minibuffer.
