Comment:

 The problem is that $bp->is_directory gets set by
 bp_update_is_directory(), inside of the screen functions for each
 component. But when you're making an ajax request, the screen functions
 never get fired (the wp_ajax_ hooks come before bp_screens, and all output
 is killed after locate_template()).

 I've attached a patch that does a sort of rudimentary check, during an
 ajax request, to see whether you're looking at a directory. It feels a bit
 hackish to me; we should probably be setting bp_update_is_directory()
 sooner. But that poses its own problems, of course, since BP has a
 tradition of doing all of its display checks really late. So I think this
 is probably as good a fix as we are going to get at the moment, and it's
 an edge case anyway.
