This is one symptom of a more general (and much more serious) problem
with the modified expand-file-name:

  (expand-file-name "d:/foo/bar/../baz") => "d:./foo/baz"

That period after the colon following the drive letter shouldn't be
there.  As you may imagine, many Emacs commands are now broken because
of this.  This must be fixed ASAP.
