Yes it is. And I think I know what the root problem is (though I am currently building to verify that), and it all boils down to what we want to expect from nsIFile.equals. In other words, the change in bug 491245 in probably very wrong, and the normalizations shouldn't even be needed.

On Unix, and I guess OSX, nsIFile.equals could be a matter of checking st_dev and st_ino in a stat() result.
