(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately weren't
resolved at the time.)

I tried doing `M' on "." and ".." in a directory, and it seems to work
fine for me (in Emacs 26.1 and 28), so is this a problem that has gone
away?  (I had a brief look at the change history, but didn't see
anything that actually claimed to change the behaviour here.)
