Looks good to commit.

Why pretend its a volume? It certainly isn't. We've not done that for
any of the other special locations. It'll just have to be filtered out
in various places where its not expected. I think its better to fully
control the UI wrt placement of special locations (by adding them
manually where they make sense).
