For those who wonder, the directory was initially found as a subdirectory of a Steam game (Factorio, release 0.17.0). The original path of the directory was ~/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Factorio/factorio.app/Contents/data/base/campaigns/demo/locale/ru. The part from demo downwards caused the game to not start properly (it was, apart from the directories, empty, but the game tried to pick up some file from the demo directory). Moving the directory away made the game playable, but I later discovered that the bottom-most ru directory could not be deleted.

I have submitted feedback to Apple about this.

Moving the directory away made the game playable, but I later discovered that the bottom-most ru directory could not be deleted. This is the directory that I then renamed strange and that I refer to throughout this question.

I have submitted feedback to Apple about this, but I'm no Apple developer so I can't submit a formal bug report.
