Did you try this on some system where "//tmp" is a valid file name,

I have never dealt with such files.
My brief attempt just to try creating such a file failed:
km²~/temp/:> touch '//abc'
touch: cannot touch `//abc': Permission denied
km²~/temp/:> touch '\/\/abc'
touch: cannot touch `\\/\\/abc': No such file or directory
Can you show how to recreate the issue that you are thinking?
Or can you try recreating the problem on your system with this patch?
Or, should this patch anyways go in the master, and we let the emacs-devel give us feedback if this results in anything unexpected?
I have used this patch in my config for few years now without any issue.
