Given that O_DIRECTORY is not part of POSIX, I don't think that
POSIX-compliance is an issue here.
However the implementation does seem to differ from the Linux documentation.
I suggest you submit a patch to the manpages project to change
If pathname is not a directory
to
If pathname exists and is not a directory
That should fix the problem.
