If the else clause is intentionally missing, some folks prefer to use
"when" instead of "if" to advertise that fact (see some surrounding code
for example).  In this case the additional "if" should be rolled into
the condition check of the former "when" anyway (and let-bind the result
to avoid the duplicate "file-name-directory" call).  The conditional is
actually superfluous since we can short-circuit from the "and".

A patch to that effect has been installed in 063c8b03b7.
