I doubt it's worth worrying about. man chdir saith
In order for a directory to become the current directory, a process must
have execute (search) access to the directory.
I'm not entirely certain what happens if you chdir into a directory and
then someone revokes the bit afterwards, but I do not feel a need to
complicate the error message to cover such a case.
