Comment (by smallstepforman):
I'm sorry about the noise, but I honestly cannot find a sure method to
reproduce the problem. It's a hit/miss Heisenbug, it will show up roughly
20% of the time when opening a folder from tracker.
If I work with the entry_ref directly (via RefsReceived), I can access the
file. If I convert to a BPath first, the volume name may be missing.
BPath fails to resolve if the volume name is missing.
Haiku apps which just work with entry_ref are fine and wont exhibit the
bug (eg. MediaPlayer). However, if you create a playlist then it will
reveal itself since the entry_ref is not saved, the BPath is. If you use
the Tracker addon to open a Terminal, it will fail.
