Thanks.  However, looking at the current code, I see this:

    file_details->Flags = (OFN_HIDEREADONLY | OFN_NOCHANGEDIR
                           | OFN_EXPLORER | OFN_ENABLEHOOK);

    if (!NILP (mustmatch))
      {
        /* Require that the path to the parent directory exists.  */
        file_details->Flags |= OFN_PATHMUSTEXIST;
        /* If we are looking for a file, require that it exists.  */
        if (NILP (only_dir_p))
          file_details->Flags |= OFN_FILEMUSTEXIST;
      }

which means that the OFN_FILEMUSTEXIST and OFN_PATHMUSTEXIST flags are
_not_ set if mustmatch is nil.  Are you saying that GetOpenFileName
requires the file to exist, even though these flags are not set?  This
seems to contradict the MSDN documentation at

  http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms646839%28v=vs.85%29.aspx

Or are you saying that the mustmatch flag is set incorrectly when the
buffer is not visiting a file?
