That is the behavior I expect intuitively (which doesn't
mean much, I admit.)

Given your scenario:

# mkdir aa
# cd aa

there is a difference in the results between these next two:

# rmdir .*
# rm -r .*

The first removes aa, the second refuses to remove it.
I don't know if they should behave differently or not.
Does it matter?
