Comment 1 for bug 1182793

The code path in question must be this

- a call to log_online_should_overwrite(bitmap file) finding a 0-sized file :

 /* Currently, it's OK to overwrite 0-sized files only */
 success = os_file_get_status(path, &file_info, false);
 return success && file_info.size == 0LL;

- then log_online_start_bitmap_file() trying to delete it and failing because the file is not found, and then aborting the file create.

 /* Check for an old file that should be deleted first */
 if (log_online_should_overwrite(log_bmp_sys->out.name)) {

  success = static_cast<ibool>(
   os_file_delete(innodb_file_bmp_key,
           log_bmp_sys->out.name));
 }

...

 if (UNIV_UNLIKELY(!success)) {

  /* The following call prints an error message */
  os_file_get_last_error(TRUE);
  ib_logf(IB_LOG_LEVEL_ERROR,
   "cannot create \'%s\'\n", log_bmp_sys->out.name);
  log_bmp_sys->out.file = -1;
  return FALSE;
 }

The immediate fix is to ignore file-not-found for the delete attempt. This would be correct, but the fact that the file disappears between checking and deleting is still very suspicious and needs investigating.
