Steps to reproduce the issue

• Go to /administrator/index.php?option=com_media&path=local-images:/sampledata
• Type in the url /administrator/index.php?option=com_media&path=local-images:/banners

Expected result

The media manager shows the contents of the banners directory.

Actual result

The media manager redirects to the sampledata directory.

System information (as much as possible)

Probably be a regression of #40013 as it happens only on Joomla 4.3.2.
