Éric, I agree. I didn't know about the strange symlink + relative path
behavior with 'os.path.normpath', but [1] cleared me up. With that in
mind the special casing is OK. I have attached an updated patch with
a unit test.
Also, this is not an issue for Python 2.7. The 2.7 implementation
assumes any directories mentioned in the path already exist. So, I
removed 2.7 from the affected versions.
