Entries with relative paths for names not creating bundles in WDS

What is the current behavior?
I'm using Webpack to bundle an Angular 2 app. I need my bundles placed in different folders of the target folder, so I'm using relative paths for the name of each of my entry:

entry: {
    '/lib/polyfills': './src/polyfills.browser.ts',
    '/lib/vendor': './src/vendor.browser.ts',
    '/v/app/main': './src/main.browser.ts'
}

I know this isn't documented, but I've seen this solution online and it works well for me. All is working when using webpack, but when I use WDS, the bundles are never created.

What is the expected behavior?
Similar to how Webpack places the bundles in the path specified by the entry name, I'd expect WDS to do the same in memory.

If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce.

This is probably a bug in webpack-dev-middleware. There is a test suite for generating these kind of url's, see here.

Would you be interested in creating a PR for this? Best way to do this would be to add a failing test case and try to fix it. If you can't fix it, submitting a failing test case is also fine.
