This is not a bug … the path is supposed to list places things might be, not places they definitely are, and there's no requirement that those locations should actually exist at any particular time (clearly, even if only existing locations were included at the point when the variable was set, those locations may no longer exist at the point when an application uses the environment variable).
That is, the variable tells applications where they should try looking for things, it doesn't guarantee that the application will be able to find things there.

Where you have found applications which complain about non-existent but legal locations in the CLASSPATH, please raise that issue with the maintainers of those applications; the applications should simply be ignoring any locations which don't exist.

/etc/profile.d/GNUstep.sh append ${user_home}/GNUstep/Library/Libraries/Java to $CLASSPATH,
even if the path is not exists.

Some other Java applications(e.g. processing) raise error because of this bug.
