When it does happen, is it reproducible?  That is, if you repeatedly
type `g', does that file never show up?  If so, could you perhaps step
in a debugger through dired-redin and its subroutines, when you do
encounter the bug, and see what is going on there?

Btw, does that happen in Dired buffers that read the entire directory,
or buffers that show only some files specified by a wildcard (or
both)?
