IMHO, Java errs in exposing any "path separator" at all, because

SYS$DISK:[USERS.ERIC.PROJECT]README.TXT;22

Such beasts still exist in the wild?

Yes !

$ type DISK2:[ARNE]HELLOWORLD.JAVA;1
public class HelloWorld {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
System.out.println("Hello world!");
}
}
$ javac helloworld.java
$ java "HelloWorld"
Hello world!
