If the current directory has been removed, then "ls" confusingly produced no output and no error message, indistinguishable from the case of running on an empty directory. It makes more sense to report ENOENT in this case.
I don't think this is a general solution as the opendir() spec states: https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/opendir.html "The directory entries for dot and dot-dot are optional". I've also seen reference to FUSE file systems that don't provide those entries. cheers, Pádraig
