You lose, I guess. I don't think it makes sense to automatically do
something different given this scenario. Autodetection should not
choose non-existing directories, and I don't think we should switch
the search order of the trees depending on their internal
inconsistency.
If the setup is as weird as that,
/usr/local/share/emacs/21.4/site-lisp as the autodetected directory
seems pretty much the sanest choice, anyway. This scheme is so
contorted that I don't see us catering better for it without having to
specify configuration options, I am afraid.
