What happened was that one fairly rare case (trying to traverse a non-existent directory) got the wrong error code. Instead of returning ENOENT it returned ENOTDIR. And I didn't notice, because it only shows up if you do something "bad" (but that "bad" thing can most easily be to run with a bad PATH that contains non-existent directory entries, which is apparently what a few people had).
