AFAICT, this `file-regular-p` check (used in addition
to `(not (file-directory-p f))`) was introduced by your:

* lisp/files.el (dir-locals--all-files): Use completion instead of wildcards
(dir-locals-file)
* lisp/files-x.el (modify-dir-local-variable)
* lisp/dos-fns.el (dosified-file-name)
* lisp/help-fns.el (describe-variable): Change accordingly.
Do you remember why added it?
