Subject: [PATCH] Fix opening new files (#5278)

Commit 1b89d3e5350f83b2ffb86a86326bd2714308ee53 introduced a regression
where opening a new file would no longer work, because attempting to
canonicalize its path would lead to a "No such file or directory"
error. Fall back to opening a new file when encountering an error to
fix this case.
