It seems a doc fix is the best way to go, in which case I leave this one to a native English speaker:

Alternatively a new 'strict' parameter has been proposed as a workaround:

-1 on a "strict" parameter. This is a pointless obfuscation of the API.

The os.path.exists() docs already cover all the gory details of when it may be false due to limited permissions. The is* docs refer to this by their use of the word "existing", but that's probably too subtle.
I suggest adding an extra sentence to the docs of all affected functions:
"This always returns False if os.path.exists(path) returns False."

I created a PR for this by making the word 'existing' a link to 'os.path.exists' since Nick mentioned that that word already implied the definition.
