Apple Personal Diagnostic: False Directory Problem Report

Apple Personal Diagnostics reports a disk or directory problem with my hard disk, but when I run Disk First Aid, no problems are found.

What is causing this contradiction?
Under some circumstances, Apple Personal Diagnostics may incorrectly report disk or directory problems, but drive diagnostics such as Disk First Aid may not find these problems. This situation is usually caused by extension conflicts with the diagnostics.

For best results, when running Apple Personal Diagnostics, disable Extensions by holding down the Shift key at start up, then run the diagnostics.
