What is the value of fd at that point?
Is it actually an invalid file descriptor?

Yes, that's how it's supposed to work.

If you plant a breakpoint on the parent fts_build,
and single step through that, can you find out whether
continue_readdir is true?  If it's true, then please
investigate why dirfd (fts.c line 1285)
returned an invalid file descriptor.  If it's false,
then please investigate why opendirat (..., &dir_fd)
(fts.c line 1301) succeeded but set dir_fd to an
invalid file descriptor.
