This looks strange, but not necessarily wrong. "file:///home" means
"empty authority", equivalent to "localhost" whereas "file:/home" means
"no authority". I'd expect the library to keep those two separate.

Note that "no host" is not the empty string, but #f:

scheme@(guile-user)> (uri->string (build-uri 'file #:host #f #:path "/home"))
$6 = "file:/home"
So it is consistent, albeit (to me) surprising. I'd have expect
your `$2' above to be "file:///home", with three slashes.
