If I hit `C-x C-d`, I receive the prompt `List directory (breif): ~/` - if I
type `/tmp/foo` and hit Enter my message buffer shows `insert-directory:
Reading directory: no such file or directory, /tmp/foo` - the prompt has
now gone and I'm unable to fix my mistake without repeating the entire
process.
