It's hard to see how any other result could be right.  You are, after all,
telling it that you have a directory called "file:".

As an aside, the a simple concat of the above would yield something
like file:////home/user/foobar.txt with four slashes in a row.  That would
correspond to the file //home/user/foobar.txt which is [well, can be]
different from /home/user/foobar.txt, but glib/gtk+ gets that difference
wrong.

Does gio properly handle the difference between "file://", "file:///",
and "file:////"?  (Relative filename, absolute filename, and absolute
filename in alternate space respectively.)
