What about

b RET - Switch to buffer `foo'

I think that it would be useful to notify the user of the existing
buffer. Who knows,
maybe the file was deleted by mistake, which means the user is lucky that Emacs
still has a copy of it. Unfortunately he might not find that out because of how
Emacs currently handles this scenario.

I agree with Drew, it would be nice with some changes here. Now or later.
