I do not see ("dir" . "etc") as a problematic return value.
The only issue is that docstring is a bit confusing.

Maybe, in addition to "Return cons consisting of file name and node name",
you can put something like "File name may also be a virtual file name
(see `Info-virtual-files')."

I am ok with current behavior. It is only the docstring that I find
slightly confusing.

May you open a separate bug report about this?
