Github user markt-asf commented on the issue:

    https://github.com/apache/tomcat/pull/109
  
    I came very close to fixing this but in the end I opted not to.
    
    I covered the argument for making this change in my previous comment. The 
reasons against it are:
    - it would be a potentially significant API change for 8.0.x, 8.5.x and 
9.0.x
    - the behaviour isn't formally specified anywhere and has obvious problems 
with more unusual file names
    - My instinct is that null is a better option here
    
    This is probably another issue to take to the Servlet EG once it starts up 
at Eclipse for clarification.
