I haven't tested it, but the files--force implementation looks a little
unaesthetic to me. Did you consider adding a standard condition error in
report_file_errno for ENOENT? There would then be symmetry with the
file-already-exists error for EEXIST.

Also, IMO this is purely a bug fix, and should not be mentioned in NEWS,
the lispref, or the doc.

But thanks for the fix!
