Perhaps "bug" was too strong a term. My point is that the longstanding
behavior of CVS (several years and at least until 1.11.4) has been to
accept such legal variants of relative paths. I am not sure why this has
changed and whether the change is intentional or a side-effect of some
other mod to CVS.
I have modified our scripts to work around this more restrictive
behavior. However I did want to highlight this issue for the benefit of
others who are more knowlegeable about the CVS internals.
