based upon the function's docstring, I was expecting the following to
return nil for a non-existing directory. Instead, it returns a string of
the non-existing directory.
(read-directory-name "Directory: " nil nil t nil)

I'm not sure what you mean here. If I eval that form and type "foo",
then Emacs just beeps at me and says "[No match]".

That's not the result I get. I get a string matching my input. No error
indication. I'm using version 26.1 (debian), though, so there's always
the chance this was reported and fixed for version 27?

I don't have 26.1 here, but I'm not able to reproduce it in Emacs 26.3
either (starting from -Q).

Call this closed. By default, I use the third-party package ivy-mode for
everything involving completions; without that mode enabled, the
function operates as expected. Sorry.
