Sounds like a bug to me...

Assuming you are using GNAT, there is also note there is a bug in the AdaCore "Compose" function. You should change:

      if not Is_Valid_Path_Name (Containing_Directory) then
         raise Name_Error;

to:

      if Containing_Directory /= "" and
         not Is_Valid_Path_Name (Containing_Directory) then
         raise Name_Error;

I've reported this in Bugzilla yonks ago but no changes in GCC yet, see http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21346
