They are not valid patterns but they are valid node-set expressions, and therefore valid in this context. [18] PathExpr ::= FilterExpr / RelativeLocationPath [19] FilterExpr ::= PrimaryExpr [14] PrimaryExpr ::= VariableReference (But they are not valid, following the thread further back, if $var is of type document fragment. Section 6.2.2 says: The "/" operator combines an arbitrary expression and a relative location path. It is an error if the expression does not evaluate to a node-set.)
