Both head and stable have no such problem with existent and non-existent 
files and parent directories including replacement of forward slashes 
with double back-slashes:

=======================================
>(ignore-errors (file-namestring "c:/notadirectory/notafile"))

"notafile"

>(ignore-errors (file-namestring "c:/msys/notafile"))

"notafile"

>(ignore-errors (file-namestring "c:/msys/1.0"))

"1.0"
=======================================

Vadim, I'm reluctant to chase the problem for 2.6.2 as we already have a 
workaround, but let me know if you disagree strongly and I'll try to do 
so during the coming week.
