Okay, so the question becomes: what is different between databroken and
a freshly mkdir'd empty directory? If there is no visible difference in
contents, ownership, or permissions, then it seems like this is evidence
of a filesystem bug (ie, apparently empty directory acts nonempty for
some operations).
