--- Comment #5 from Stephan Bergmann <sbergman at redhat.com> ---
Ugh, this is ugly.  So we apparently convert \\127.0.0.1\share\foo\bar UNC
pathnames (or using "localhost" instead of "127.0.0.1", i.e., anything where
the UNC host-name denotes the local host) into <file://127.0.0.1/share/foo/bar>
URLs, then canonicalize the latter to <file:///share/foo/bar>.  I don't see an
easy way to fix the dilemma presented here.  (One approach could be to convert
such localhost UNC pathnames into <file://///127.0.0.1/share/foo/bar> URLs, see
<https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8089#appendix-E.3.2>, and make LO understand
such UNC URLs in addition to the <file://host/...> ones it already supports.)
