Good catch. I think this would save a certain number of unnecessary stat() calls.

But it does change semantics, so we can't fix this in 2.4. In 2.5, we should warn hook authors that this might affect them. The PEP ought to be updated to clarify this.

Okay. The patch fixing this is at #921466. I'll see what I can do about the PEP.
