Or what else can go wrong here? It's been some time since I looked at the code underlying this behaviour, but as I recall there is no way to distinguish between the user submitting a non-existent file and a zero-length file. You need to handle both the same way and either tell the user 'the file you selected is empty or does not exist' or, depending on what makes sense for your application, just accept the zero-length file irrespective of whether it existed client side or not. Unfortunately you can't solve this client side either (at least not trivially).
