I'm running emacs 24.3 (2013-08-20 build date) on CYGWIN 64 bit. There are file systems mounted with OpenText NFS client from an AIX box.
(file-exists-p "/cygdrive/q/file/of/interest/.dir-locals.el")
=> t
where the /cygdrive/q/file/of/interest is a regular file.
The same does not happen with files of interest that do not exist:
(file-exists-p "/cygdrive/q/bobtcat")
=> nil
I've looked through the help-gnu-emacs and bugs-gnu-emacs archives and (in the first 5 or so pages) don't find anything like this. It seems like a bug, but I always assume that I'm doing something wrong first.
Does anyone know what I might be doing (have configured) wrong?
Thanks.

Does this happen with filesystems other than the NFS-mounted one?
FWIW, I don't see this neither on GNU/Linux nor with the native w32
build of Emacs 24.3 on MS-Windows.

Nope. Only with the OpenText NFS mounted disks. I have only native NTFS and remote NTFS and OT NFS mounts; only the OT NFS mounts show this symptom.
