Re: file-readable-p returns t for empty string

    That's because all these primitives call expand-file-name internally,
    and expand-file-name returns the buffer's default directory when
    passed an empty string as an argument.

    I don't know off the top of my head why does expand-file-name do that.

Do you have something better to suggest?
