Actually I never type such a command in the command line. But I had the
problem in a script.
I had a list of absolute paths,
list=[ path1, path2, ..., pathN ]

And I wanted to do
for path in list
let path=fnamemodify( path, ':.' )
exe 'tabnew' path
endfor

Without the problem above I wouldn't need the fnamemodify command.
