IMHO, it would be more logic to comply to the manual in this case, so
that the new is_file($f) behaves like the current:
file_exists($f) && is_file($f)
So nuke the warning on non-existing files. A non-existing file is not a
file. Nor a directory, etc etc.
The change is easy, but do people agree that this change should
happen?

I don't know what your 'last' is, but current CVS doesn't output
anything with file_exists():
mfischer@ficken:~$ php -q
<? error_reporting(E_ALL); $bla = file_exists('sdahfw3gjkgsdgjksd');
var_dump($bla); ?>
bool(false)
No error outpout.

Actually, the last I checked, you _do_ need to use @file_exists() if
you have error reporting all the way up to avoid error output. That
surprised me.

Wrong. You use file_exists() to first determine if something exists.
The name is a bit misleading, you can verify existense of files,
directories and links (read: any file type). file_exists() is written
to _not_ output any error. Whereas the is_*() functions are for good
reason.
So, if you don't want to use file_exists(), you need to use @is_*().
This is the expected behaviour.

when using the is_file function and a file is not found an error is
sent back to the error log. I expect this simply to return false in
this case. I am aware of file_exists, however in the manual:
Returns true if the filename exists and is a regular file.
Therefore I expect this to also be testing for file existence. I do
not expect debugging output leading me to have to use @is_file and
possibly miss other crucial error output.
