Public bug reported:

Sometimes the php realpath function returns true for files that don't
exist:

http://php.net/manual/en/function.realpath.php#82770

When that happens, safe_require calls require_once on a nonexistent
file, even when you ask it not to do that by calling it with the
nonfatal parameter.

See the error log posted here:
