Hi Eli, I'm sorry I forgot to follow up on this.  It doesn't happen with Emacs
25, but only the very old Emacs that came with my Mac, which was somehow on my
path ahead of the good one yesterday.

It seems that `batch-byte-recompile-directory' now doubles the argument
somehow.  I was unable to track down the commit where this was introduced, but
this is happening in a Makefile that worked for years until recently:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
10:42:49 Vulcan:~/.emacs.d $ emacs -Q -batch -L . --eval '(batch-byte-recompile-directory 0)' lib
Checking /Users/johnw/.emacs.d/lib/lib...
Error: Opening directory: no such file or directory, /Users/johnw/.emacs.d/lib/lib
Done (Total of 0 files compiled)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Notice the 'lib/lib' there.  Using `byte-recompile-directory' interactively
from within a running Emacs works fine, however.
