Indeed, I didn't see it.
Thanks for bearing with me.

I've installed a change which should fix it (similar to yours).
I still don't quite understand why that was a problem: /foo//bar is only
ever changed to /bar when passing though subst-in-file-name which should
only be applied to file name coming from "outside" (interactive input),
so it shouldn't happen for such file names generated internally.  I.e it
should stay as "/foo//bar" which Unix interprets just like "/foo/bar".
