Hmm - reverting seems to fail always (dired doesn't know that the
directory name changed), but in the case of a name without special
wildcard patterns dired just complains that the file doesn't exist.  The
way of failing seems to be different in these cases, which confused me.

Can we make it so that the failing behavior is the same in both cases?

Michael.
