I noticed that now 'find-alternate-file' has such a problem
that it updates the modification timestamp of the directory.

This is because 'find-alternate-file' calls 'rename-buffer'
before setting back the value of 'buffer-file-name'.
So this code in 'rename-buffer' is fired and changes
the directory modification timestamp:

  if (NILP (BVAR (current_buffer, filename))
      && !NILP (BVAR (current_buffer, auto_save_file_name)))
    call0 (intern ("rename-auto-save-file"));

A possible fix would be to swap the order of
setting of 'buffer-file-name' and 'rename-buffer':
