You are reading it correctly. This is how it behaves.

You didn't say why the behavior causes a problem for you - you only
explained what the behavior is.
Most people use os.listdir in a way like this:
for name in os.listdir(path):
full = os.path.join(path, name)
attrib = os.stat(full)
if some-condition:
f = open(full)
...
All this code will typically work just fine with the current behavior,
so people typically don't see any problem.
