It's checking for a directory named "Temp temp", which does not exist,
so you are getting the result you want by accident.

The simplest way I know of to achieve what you want:

  local d=( (#i)Temp(/N) )
  [[ ${#d} == 1 ]] && echo "there is exactly one (#i)Temp directory"

Note that this test succeeds if there is a directory named "temp" and
a regular file named "Temp". I presume that's what you want.
