Observed behavior:

>>>>>>os.path.join('/foo/bar', '/baz')
'/baz'

Expected behavior:

should return '/foo/bar/baz' or (suboptimally) raise an exception.

Why:
Observed beahvior violates the minimal surprise principle and does not appear to respond to any particular rationale (by the same token it could return /foo/bar as well)
