I think at this point it comes down to "what is most likely" - remember this
is a pretty weird edge case anyway.  The folder exists - has sub folders,
is missing ALL its cyrus.* files, and doesn't have any messages in it.

The flip side, intermediate directory that legitimately isn't a folder is
much more likely.

It would, but we don't do long flag names, and besides I hate flag 
proliferation.
It's hard enough remembering what all the flags to reconstruct do as it is!  
This
is a super rare edge case as it is...
