The part after the colon already gets removed by the following rule:

	 ;; If it contains a colon, get rid of it (and return if exists)
	 ((and (string-match path-separator name)
	       (setq name (ffap-string-at-point 'nocolon))
	       (ffap-file-exists-string name)))

I wonder what the value of `path-separator' do you have?  Is it a colon?
