Now done. Ken, could you please re-run the test and show the detailed error that is signalled?
Thanks. The error is now clear: Test x-dnd-tests-do-direct-save condition:(file-missing "Opening output file" "No such file or directory" "//tmp/x-dnd-testvZQUCZ/x-dnd-test-targetKiqqPT")
According to POSIX, the meaning of exactly 2 slashes at the beginning of a path name is system dependent. On Cygwin it's interpreted as a UNC path. That explains the error, but I don't immediately see where the extra slash comes from. (There are plenty of references to UNC paths and to "file://" and "file:///" in dnd.el, so maybe there's some code in there that incorrectly assumes that MS-Windows is the only platform on which exactly 2 initial slashes has a special meaning.)
