list.files fails with all.files = TRUE and recursive = TRUE (PR#7102)

I get different behavior on Linux:

system("mkdir newdir")
dir("newdir", all.files = TRUE, recursive = TRUE)  ## R hangs
## After hitting Ctrl-C
There were 50 or more warnings (use warnings() to see the first 50)
 > dir("newdir", all.files = TRUE, recursive = TRUE)
character(0)
Warning message:
list.files: newdir is not a readable directory

After hitting Ctrl-C the first time, dir() doesn't hang but it 
produces the warning.
