1. Open HTML5 local filesystem
2. Select a directory in it, Copy > Choose Folder > pick a folder on an Orion FS.
3. You'll get an error
> TypeError: Object #<DirectoryEntry> has no method 'file'

This is probably because HTML5 filesystem does not implement the "read metadata" API call for directories. In other words, this blows up:
> html5FileService.read(someDirectory.Location, true)
