That's the correct behavior.

POSIX requires that paths of // be preserved literally, because it has
implementation-defined semantics.  If you are using a Linux kernel, //
is implementation-defined as a synonym for /, but on other platforms,
such as Cygwin, // is a distinct location (the root of
//machine/share/path notation) from /.  Bash preserves the spelling of
// on all platforms, rather than trying to figure out whether // is a
synonym for /.  So there is no bug here.
