Why bother at all? I don't see why zero sizes are a problem. We've had them for year without complaints.
I'm using the i_size of directories in my patches. When reading from a union directory, I'm using the i_size to seek to the right offset in the union stack. Therefore I need values of dirent->d_off which are smaller than the i_size of the directory. Altogether, it doesn't make sense to me to seek to an offset which is greater than the i_size and let the dirent read succeed.
