In src/du.c we have the following:

          ent = fts_read (fts);
          if (ent == NULL)
            {
              if (errno != 0)
                {
                  error (0, errno, _("fts_read failed: %s"),
                         quotef (fts->fts_path));
                  ok = false;
                }

Perhaps that should be changed? I'm not sure of that behavior, to be
honest.
