Follow-up Comment #2, bug #56855 (project findutils): I think that it's correct that "the dirname of the path" is the empty string when the directory is the root directory. The root directory has no name. The path separator ("/") is not a name. More importantly, this behaviour cannot change because it has been in place for decades. Changing it could only cause problems.
