I pushed the fix to master (8e394b082b).  I also added a test for this
case; even though the change is to find-file, I added the test to
dired-tests.el, since it's testing dired-auto-revert-buffer and belongs
with the other two cases of this bug.  (I also pulled apart the test of
the two previous cases into two separate tests.  I did this because the
Hydra build system shows the previous combined test failing
intermittently; it doesn't fail for me with make check, and AFAICS the
test doesn't depend on anything outside of the test environment, so it's
a mystery why it sometimes fails on Hydra, but maybe separately testing
the two cases, though nearly identical, will help locate the point of
failure.)
