I think it's a bug, but I don't think your change is correct, either.  I
believe the intent is not to ignore d2 in addition to d, but to ignore
d/foo.  So you'd want something like:

        strncmp (name, dir_ign_list[i], strlen (dir_ign_list[i])) == 0 &&
        (name [strlen (dir_ign_list[i])] == '\0' ||
         ISDIRSEP (name [strlen (dir_ign_list[i])]))
