I'm not sure I understand how that could be possible, since the change
for bug#35385 didn't change any behaviors, it just added new functions
that can be optionally used as values of dired-dwim-target.

Could you please bisect to see what change broke this?  This behavior
wasn't supposed to change in Emacs 27.

Thanks.
