It's not clear what did you expect instead. Did you expect that
unconditionally turning on some mode in a Dired buffer be ignored,
just because it's a Dired buffer? Or did you expect that your
.dir-locals.el settings be in effect only for files, not for
directories? Or did you expect that cc-mode somehow gracefully does
nothing when the buffer text is not a C-like program source? Or
something else?
IOW, why isn't that .dir-locals.el setting of yours not a cockpit
error?
