I can't reproduce this in Emacs 29, so I guess it's been fixed since
then.

However, hitting `g' in the directory after the operation gives me an
error about default-directory no longer existing (which is correct), but
this should be handled better.

This is a duplicate of bug#30578, though, so I'm merging these bugs.
