Repeat the example with `mkdir' rather than touch.

You have called the "find a directory" command with an argument which
is not a directory, after enabling a feature that tries to guess what
you want. It does its best to find a matching directory, but since
there are none it fails.

ffap's dired-at-point can't deal with filenames like.
$ touch 'zzzzzzz[AB]'
$ emacs -Q -f ffap-bindings .
C-x d z z TAB RET
...no such file or directory...

I.e., what we expand with TAB, we can't see with RET.
Please make it behave just like if we didn't use -f ffap-bindings.
