Review:

-    else:
+    elif os.path.isdir(PERSISTENCE_DIR):


Here `PERSISTENCE_DIR` is set to
`"/live/persistence/TailsData_unlocked"`, which works. However, in other
places we check whether persistence is enabled by looking if the shell
variable `TAILS_PERSISTENCE_ENABLED` is set to `true` in the file
`/var/lib/live/config/tails.persistence`. See `persistence_is_enabled()`
in
`config/chroot_local-includes/usr/local/lib/tails-shell-library/tails_greeter.sh`.

Still, as the non-fatal exception isn't thrown any more (it's absent
from `/var/log/gdm3/0:-greeter.log`) I won't block on this but I created
the low-priority ticket #6786 to track it.

So, merged!

Cheers!
