I would say this is expected.
How could we avoid this? By adding a file-exists-p check somewhere
inside, right? And failing silently if it returns nil.
Right now the caller code needs to use that check. Or, more likely,
figure out why they are passing in a directory that does not exist.

nil is a normal return value in this case: it means "no project here",
that's a regular occasion. The callers who don't want to deal with nil
should pass t as the first argument.
