I think everything is doing what it is supposed to from an Org-mode
perspective, see below (with different functions).

This is to be expected.  The two blocks above compose to something like

    #+begin_src emacs-lisp
      (file-name-nondirectory
       (file-name-directory
        (directory-file-name
         (file-name-directory
          (buffer-file-name)))))
    #+end_src

Calling `file-name-nondirectory' on the results of `file-name-directory'
seems like it should give you an empty string.

Best,
