Nicely analyzed and improved.

The "stat" statement is technically correct.
I think that a more git-style fix would be
[] ---
+       test -r "$aumlcdiar"

instead of the stat.

I looked into the 2 known breakages.
In short: they test use cases which are not sooo important for a user in 
practice, but do a good test if the code is broken.
IOW: I can't see a need for immediate action.

As you already did all the analyzes:
Do you want to send a patch ?
