| file-name-handler-alist's value is 
| 
(("\\(\\.Z\\(~\\|\\.~[0-9]+~\\)?\\'\\)\\|\\(\\.bz2\\'\\)\\|\\(\\.tgz\\'\\)\\|\\(\\.gz\\(~\\|\\.~[0-9]+~\\)?\\'\\)"
 . jka-compr-handler)
|  ("^/$\\|^/[^/:][^/]*$" . tramp-completion-file-name-handler)
|  ("\\`/[^/:]+:" . tramp-file-name-handler)
|  ("\\`/:" . file-name-non-special))

Then the regexp for tramp-completion-file-name-handler must be
"^/$\\|^\\([A-Za-z]:\\)?/[^/:][^/]*$" in the Windows case.

I'll check whether this is applicable. There might be places in the
code where the drive letter must be removed before there are further
actions.

Best regards, Michael.
