Sorry, could you please elaborate?  What exactly did you do and what
did you see?

I tried:

  emacs -Q
  M-x set-variable RET confirm-nonexistent-file-or-buffer RET nil RET
  M-x find-file-read-only RET foobar RET

and Emacs signaled an error saying that the file does not exist.
Sounds like Emacs does behave reasonably.
