Not always. It has other bugs than the original.
It breaks the splitting of URLs (I called your version split-path2) :
>> split-path http://fgdfgdfg.Fgdfg/fgdfgdfg/dfgdfg
== [http://fgdfgdfg.Fgdfg/fgdfgdfg/ %dfgdfg]
>> split-path2 http://fgdfgdfg.Fgdfg/fgdfgdfg/dfgdfg
== [http://fgdfgdfg.Fgdfg/fgdfgdfg/ dfgdfg]

The last expression can also be written like that :
split-path %""

Remember that you can have a look to the source of the original split-path
to improve it :
source split-path
