This seems reasonable to me.

Why is that? It doesn't seem really impossible to me, just unlikely.
FWIW, I don't think this should actually block this patch. If this were
a real problem we would need a solution to it anywhere we have a list of
directories.
The code bits look ok to me.
But, please wait a few days to see if there are any objections.
