Subject: 29.0.50; Newly opened Dired buffers are usually modified
Date: Sat, 29 Oct 2022 18:01:06 +0700

When I open a new Dired buffer without doing anything,
`buffer-modified-p` usually returns `t`, especially for directories
under $HOME.

```bash

emacs -Q --eval "(progn
(find-file \"$(mktemp -d)\")
(print (buffer-modified-p (current-buffer))))"

```
Observed: Emacs prints `t`
Expected: Emacs prints `nil`

Instead of "$(mktemp -d)", "~" is also reproducible, but not "/".

This looks like a regression of current master that doesn't present on
Emacs 28.1.
