#2 I read 8.b.ii. Right after I read 8.b.i which says:

"""
If the preceding component does not refer (in the context of pathname resolution with symbolic links followed) to a directory, then the cd utility shall display an appropriate error message and no further steps shall be taken.
"""

So my interpretation is that POSIX mandates an error in this case.
