Minimal example:

emacs -Q -f shell
foo=/tmp
cd $foo

It's never worked, now it's just more verbose in telling you about it.

It uses with-demoted-errors, so it debug-on-error is not on, it only
gives a message.

It should probably go back to being silent, since the directory tracker
is so easy to confuse (http://debbugs.gnu.org/9555).
