Similar "unexpected" is, that

dirname("") returns "."
 [2014-03-20 08:36 UTC] shm@php.net 
Accroding to glibc's man basename(3):

[...]
The functions dirname() and basename() break a null-terminated pathname string
into directory and filename components.  In the usual case, dirname()  returns
the string up to, but not including, the final '/', and basename() returns the
component following the final '/'.  Trailing '/' characters are not counted as
part of the pathname.
[...]

Our implementation behaves the same.

I won'T stand in the way of: POSIX.1-2001.
