Comment(by dd32):

 I'm not too sure of the need for this..

 Then again, a simple addition could "fix" it:

 {{{
 if ( ! is_dir(WP_CONTENT_DIR) )
    wp_die( sprintf('Your wp-content directory(%s) is missing.',
 WP_CONTENT_DIR) );
 }}}

 It comes down to performance perhaps, Is an extra IO check needed when
 this would only occur under a incorrect/incomplete install?

 It could alternativly only be added to the installer.. rather than wp-
 settings.php
