SUSv3(*) says:
[EISDIR]
The named file is a directory and oflag includes O_WRONLY or O_RDWR.
[ENOENT]
O_CREAT is not set and the named file does not exist; or O_CREAT is
set and either the path prefix does not exist or the path argument
points to an empty string.
Given these descriptions, I can't see anything wrong with that Linux
behaviour.
