I've just checked that. It's ok.

Known problem. This happens when using native Windows commands in
non-interactive mode. You can get rid of that by using the ssh option
"-t" when starting non-interactive commands.

The path handling code in OpenSSH simply adds "/.ssh" to your home
directory which results in "//.ssh" for the private ssh directory.
No problem on UN*X which simply ignores runs of slashes. In Windows
a run of two leading slashes has a special meaning (SMB path).
I can only repeat what I mentioned often before:
Don't use / as home directory.
This is bad style anyway, regardless of the used system.
