Nothing.  Read ?data

     If `lib.loc' is not specified,  the datasets are searched for
     amongst those packages already loaded, followed by the `data'
     directory (if any) of the current working directory and then

and you have a non-directory called `data' in your working directory.
When that was written, there was no portable way to check for a file
being a directory.
