Hm...  Actually, I'm not sure.  Perhaps doing a series of
file-name-directory/directory-file-name in a loop (to peel off the
directory components) would be the best algorithm here?  And I don't
think we have a function for this -- at least I can't find anything
promising while poking around.

Opening a new bug report is best, but it's not required.
