Aha.

I'm not sure how this would translate into code, but it would make
more sense to me if we undo the effect of --literal-pathspecs when
setting arguments to ":/". After all, it's obviously not meant to be a
literal file so it shouldn't treated as one (also this way still
allows a user to pass --literal-pathspecs with ":/" to add an actual
directory named ":" (not that anyone should ever want that)).
