Basically, we don't want to call wdired-normalize-filename if the
filename has been pulled from a text property rather than from a
substring of the dired buffer.
Note also the 'FIXME' a few lines up in the file:
;; FIXME: Use dired-get-filename's new properties.
I don't know if that still needs fixing or not.
