Yes, it is. Any information it can find that can speed up the checkout
should be used.

If you have a broken pristine, it's useless. It should be deleted.
(still wonder why tla does not do it itself).

That is a neighbouring tree of the newly-created directory...

No, you did not! You wanted a new tree. Point. The pristines are a cache
-- no need to cache one thing twice as long as it can find the first
instance.

Taken into account that it's quite a lot extra work to do...
It is deliberate. It increases the chance that a pristine will be found
and tla won't have to download all the patches.
