Unfortunately, quoting either slash of the double slash parts in
something like `C-x C-f /etc//foo' still restarts the search from the
filesystem root here, in GNU Emacs 23.0.91.1 (i386-unknown-freebsd8.0,
GTK+ Version 2.14.7) of 2009-03-14.
I think if `C-x C-f /etc/ C-q / foo' really passed "/etc//foo" as the
file path name to the find-file function, it might be a nice change that
doesn't feel too surprising to someone who relies on the current behavior.

Certainly :)
