So the root cause of this bug is that this content is parsed by the relative entity reference parser and the relative entity reference parser returns null for empty references.
[], [.] and [..] are working because they are special keywords interpreted as ("current document", "current space" and "parent space"). But ... is just a regular reference which means <missing space>.<missing space>.<missing document>, but in the case of a "relative" resolve we don't missing pieces.
