cd allows one to change directory to a filename

I'm using winscp 5.9.5 build 7441 on windows 10 transferring files to a mac os x system using sftp protocol from winscp command line.
the directory tmp on the mac has a file named blort in it.
If I connect to the mac system, and do (username replaced by x's)

winscp> cd tmp/blort
/Users/xxxxxxxx/tmp/blort
winscp> pwd
/Users/xxxxxxxx/tmp/blort
winscp> ls
Error listing directory '/Users/xxxxxxxx/tmp/blort'.
No such file or directory.
Error code: 2
Error message from server: No such file
(A)bort, (R)etry, (S)kip: Skip
winscp> cd ..
/Users/xxxxxxxx/tmp
winscp> ls
