For a better ovvervie I'll post the 4 scripts I mentioned above:

First, those "*" characters, what are they? Two are on a line by
itself. You said you marked a line. I think you confused things
terribly when you did that. Because "*" is special to the shell. It
is a file glob. The shell expands it to match a glob of characters.
This makes it data dependent. When you have lines with only a "*" in
the script on that line then what happens depends upon what files are
in the current directory.

There are more scripts of course I hope this will be enough information to
exermain if this is really a bug.
I expect you will find that mkdir is making directories. If you are
seeing it to be a file then I expect you will find that it was already
a file before the mkdir. I expect that ls command will show that
there was a file present and then the mkdir fails.
With no further comments in 5 years, I'm closing this bug.
