[2.1.124] Changes to lookup_dentry still behave incorrectly?

The "fixes" to the lookup_dentry function in the last several versions
still seem to have one final thing that behaves differently from 2.0.

2.0.35:

[sroot@bridge:/root]# ls foo
/bin/ls: foo: No such file or directory
[sroot@bridge:/root]# ls foo/
/bin/ls: foo/: No such file or directory
[sroot@bridge:/root]# ls foo/.
/bin/ls: foo/.: No such file or directory

2.1.124:

[sroot@red:/root]# ls foo
/bin/ls: foo: No such file or directory
[sroot@red:/root]# ls foo/
/bin/ls: foo/: Not a directory
[sroot@red:/root]# ls foo/.
/bin/ls: foo/.: No such file or directory

Is this intended or broken?
