Please reopen this issue. The distutils2 project has now been abandoned, so 
that's no longer a justification for taking no action. 

At the very least, the documentation should be fixed to either warn about this 
surprising behavior, or make it clear that the the dir_util functions are for 
distutils internal use only.
