I understand your points, but I don't see any reasons to ignore these files.

What will be wrong if 'git status' will reports these files?
What will be wrong if 'git add' will returns an error instead of
skipping them silently?

I can buy that 'git add' reports an error for special files. (And I concur with Dscho that the behavior should otherwise remain unchanged.) But this is not what the commit message sells even if the patch changes the behavior of 'git add', too (I haven't tested the patch).
