Dired mode command "Q" (dired-do-find-regexp-and-replace) fails when
user has deleted a directory in the same Emacs session. Steps to
reproduce:
1. Create test files:
$ mkdir dir1 dir2
$ touch dir1/file1 dir2/file2
2. Start Emacs in dired-mode inside "dir1":
$ emacs -Q dir1
/home/dtw/tmp/dir1:
total used in directory 0 available 16454160
drwxr-xr-x 2 dtw dtw 60 2017-09-24 16:02:00 .
drwxrwxrwt 4 root root 80 2017-09-24 16:02:00 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 dtw dtw 0 2017-09-24 16:02:00 file1
3. Mark the "file1" with command "m" (dired-mark).
4. Type command "Q" (dired-do-find-regexp-and-replace) and type any
strings to the regexp and replace prompts.
5. Go one directory up with command "^" (dired-up-directory).
/home/dtw/tmp:
total used in directory 4 available 16454160
drwxrwxrwt 4 root root 80 2017-09-24 16:02:00 .
drwxr-xr-x 61 dtw dtw 4096 2017-09-24 15:42:49 ..
drwxr-xr-x 2 dtw dtw 60 2017-09-24 16:02:00 dir1
drwxr-xr-x 2 dtw dtw 60 2017-09-24 16:02:00 dir2
6. Use "D" (dired-do-delete) to delete "dir1" (confirm with "yes"
twice).
7. Go to "dir2".
/home/dtw/tmp/dir2:
total used in directory 0 available 16454160
drwxr-xr-x 2 dtw dtw 60 2017-09-24 16:02:00 .
drwxrwxrwt 3 root root 60 2017-09-24 16:03:32 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 dtw dtw 0 2017-09-24 16:02:00 file2
8. Mark the "file2" with command "m" (dired-mark).
9. Type command "Q" (dired-do-find-regexp-and-replace) and enter some
strings to regexp and replace prompts.
10. There will be the following error in the echo area and the
*Messages* buffer:
call-process-shell-command: Setting current directory: No such
file or directory, ~/tmp/dir1/
And the command "Q" can't be performed.

Thanks for the report, should be fixed now in emacs-26.
