'c:z' is consistent with what .NET's System.IO.Path.Combine does:
via http://ironpython.net/try/ :
import System.IO.Path; print System.IO.Path.Combine('c:/x', 'd:/y', 'c:z')
returns 'c:z'

c:\>cd c:/x
c:\x>cd e:\y
c:\x>cd c:z
Het systeem kan het opgegeven pad niet vinden. # file not found, in Dutch
c:\x>cd c:\z
Yes, there is a seperate current directory for each drive, but cd does not
switch drives. (cd e:\f does not mean you actually go to e:\f - it just changes
the current directory on the e:-drive). I don't think those semantics are
sensible for joining paths...
