But that's exactly the problem: producing a file name from a file://
URL requires to remove the "file://" prefix.  It is invalid to leave
the 2 extra slashes and remove only "file:".  Why does Org do that?

Now I'm confused: why are you talking about prepending "file://", when
the problem, as I understand it, happens because "file://" was not
_removed_ from it together with the 2 slashes?
