It should either create them or accept that there is nothing to be loaded,  
either way it should be silent.

did you try using the LAST VM from jenkins? because this is the famous  
problem where you are using an old vm I think

I just tried again (with the branded cog cocoa), it's the same. The  
DirectoryDoesNotExist exception is simply not handled.

Are we talking about saving scripts or loading them? Would you give a  
reproducible case? I see "folder exists ifFalse: [ ^ nil ]." checks in the  
lookup methods. Maybe this was fixed?

Just delete or move said folders out of the way, then open an image.

As Mariano said I was indeed using the pharo-branded build from
jenkins, which is not in sync with the cog build, apparently, so
there's at least some fixing there do do)
Not sure that does fix the problem though, I should check.

Maybe that's an opportunity to implement the Maybe monad in Pharo :D

So what is the exact problem?
Can you reproduce it?
On which vm and image?

I just tried with the CogVM instead of the pharo branded VM, all seems  
fine, so I'll close the issue.
