It currently accepts absolute pathnames, or pathnames relative to the current directory. Seems sensible to me. And portable. Most operating systems have the concept of a default current directory. I don't think most of them have the concept of a default current directory for each drive/device/filesystem/younameit (but I could be wrong).
If Emacs would only get a relative file name it would have no chance to find the file. As I wrote in another letter it also gets the cwd, but in those cases we are discussing here it gets the wrong cwd.
So this is actually a bug that we should fix. It should be rather easy to do that by just using the cwd for the given file name's drive so to say.
