Remember that every valid SMB URL that refers to a file must have at least four slashes: two to separate the protocol from the host, another to separate the host from the share, and one more to separate the share from the file.  When the host, share, and file are all null, you get the seemingly odd result.

It would be useful to get Chris' viewpoint, since he's the author of the SMB URL RFC.
