So, the manual page is wrong. Linux returns the EPERM error in this case. And this conforms to Posix.1.
[ In my copy of Posix.1-1988, section 5.5.1.4 contains: [EPERM] The file named by path is a directory and either the calling process does not have appropriate privileges, or the implementation prohibits using unlink on directories.]
