Yes absolutely. Two related questions have been submitted to the working 
group (I should have sent some feedback earlier):

- 0000671: aio_fsync() EBADF and "open for writing"
<http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=671>

- 0000672: Necessary step(s) to synchronize filename operations on disk
<http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=672>

The second one is the result if a discussion on the mailing-list (see 
the "fsync()'ing a directory file descriptor" thread on austin-group-l)
