The problem appears to originate from file_mask_dialog() in
src/filegui.c (gdb shows dest_dir = g_strdup ("./") gets called for
single file copies to locations without a slash), but the logic of that
function is still rather incomprehensible to me...

Fe, look at
    orig_mask = ctx->dest_mask;
...
	ctx->dest_mask = g_strdup (ctx->dest_mask);
	*orig_mask = 0;
