Actually I went back and redid my test, and realized that although I had
already visited that file and added some contents, so the buffer
existed, I had never _saved_ the file, so there wasn't yet anything on
disk.

I suppose one could make an argument that find-file should consider that
state as "existing" and not require confirmation, but one could also
argue that the current behavior is correct...
