Looking at these checks, I don't think they are useful in this context,
and some change the intended behavior.

* One check makes sure the directory ends in a slash, but this will
  already be the case because your changes call file-name-directory.

* Another calls expand-file-name, but all these functions already expand
  the original file name upstream.

* Another signals an error if the directory doesn't exist, is not a
  directory, or isn't accessible.  All but one of these functions call
  org-file-contents with a non-nil NOERROR, so the intent is to message
  rather than raise an error when a file doesn't exist.
  (org--setup-collect-keywords is the one function that doesn't use
  org-file-contents, but it does check that the file is readable before
  calling insert-file-contents.)
