Same for me on Windows using Activestate Python 2.1.1.

This should be easy to work around, though, if in a grotesque way:

# FIXME: On at least some versions of Python, a bug in urlparse.urljoin()
# strips required slashes out of a "file:" URL. This repairs the damage.
# Once Python is fixed to get it right, the required Python version
# should be upped and this code should be stripped.
import re

find_bad_url = re.compile("file:/[^/]")
if (find_bad_url.match(urlstring)) is not None:
     urlstring = urlstring[0:5] + "//" + urlstring[5:]
