On the contrary, the standard actually says the current readdir
behavior is buggy.  See my previous reference to a quote from
readdir's rationale.

"Going against the standard behavior" means differing in behavior that all other implementations have. The new POSIX standard verbiage you pointed out only _hints_ that that it is incorrect behavior, with no justification for that position.
