Hmm... I personally expect buffer-file-name to be an absolute file name (or
nil).  Admittedly, the docstring doesn't say that, so maybe your fix is
indeed in order (or else the docstring of buffer-file-name should be fixed).

But in any case buffer-file-name should never be "" IMHO, and I consider
this to be a bug in ERC.
