Why do we care?  For the most part, Linux treats directories as files (if I do a mkdir twice, the error is "mkdir: tmp: File exists".  We don't care about the other flags rwx so why should we care about d?

Python should avoid adding superfluous checks when it doesn't have to.

AFAICT, it hasn't bothered anyone.
