I am showing my ignorance, but

 (1) if it works on a real file then can it ever give you a file
     that is in nonexisting directory?

 (2) when it works on a file at the root level of the project
     tree, say, just "Makefile" wouldn't dir which is the result
     of (file-name-directory file) be sometimes nil?  I suspect
     that is the reason of the original (when dir ...)

In either case, your change would not break anything.  I am just
being curious.
