Certainly not.  It's due to a "bug" in fileio.c of 19.25, where the
lisp function make-directory and the C subr.  make_directory_internal
are both using the same OPERATION symbol for their file-name-handlers.
The result is some cross-talk where one is inhibiting the other.
Richard and I are currently discussing a fix.
