Comment:

 The situation is now as follows (master, commit 0cc55fe):

 `file-type' takes an optional flag indicating whether a non-existing file
 should dsignal an error or if the function should return #f (defaults to
 signalling an error).

 All the file-type predicates return #f if given a filename and the file
 does not exist.

 All file-type predicates with the exception of `symbolic-link?` follow
 symlinks.

 If this agrees with you, please close the ticket.
