On GNU/Linux, it is `file-missing' (introduced in Emacs 26).
Best regards, Michael.

I know. But ls-lisp doesn't know whether it failed because the
directory doesn't exist, or does exist but isn't accessible, and
trying to discern between these two situations doesn't seem worth it.

Hmm. This reminds me, that `tramp-test17-insert-directory' does not
check any error condition. If I would add this, this subtle detail would
count ...
(Not that anybody in real life would care ...)
Best regards, Michael.
