Not reproducible here. I even don't get "no such directory".

Could you, please, check the value of `find-file-not-found-functions'?
In my case it is '(PC-look-for-include-file vc-file-not-found-hook).

If there is no relevant information, you might set debug-on-error to
non-nil in order to get a backtrace. It would be helpful to know where
this message comes from in both cases.
