Comment:

 Looks like it; this now prints `True` on Linux:
 {{{
 import Control.Exception
 import System.IO.Error
 import System.Process

 main = handle (print . isDoesNotExistError) $ do
           (_,_,_,hnd) <- createProcess (proc "foobar" [])
           print =<< waitForProcess hnd
 }}}

 Thanks for pointing it out, benmachine!
