Not a bug. Just because you can't stat() a file does not mean you can't learn of its existence via readdir(). ls is properly a) telling you that the file exists because readdir() said so, and b) warning you that it couldn't stat() the file because of permissions. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
