As for the "C:" behaviour, I think it is normal: you are not specifying the path itself, only the drive letter, so it uses the current path in the specified drive (which /is/ cwd if you are already running from C:, but may be something else if running from another drive). As for '' and b'', I think that ambiguity is bad and these values should be prohibited by Python (ValueError comes to mind).
