Here's the kdump on Mac OS X:

  7035 zsh      CALL  lstat(0xbfffb0d9,0xbfffb54c)
  7035 zsh      NAMI  "file1"
  7035 zsh      RET   lstat 0
  7035 zsh      CALL  lstat(0xbfffb0d9,0xbfffb54c)
  7035 zsh      NAMI  "file2"
  7035 zsh      RET   lstat 0
  7035 zsh      CALL  stat(0xbfffb0d9,0xbfffb5ac)
  7035 zsh      NAMI  "file2"
  7035 zsh      RET   stat 0
  7035 zsh      CALL  lstat(0xbfffb0d9,0xbfffb54c)
  7035 zsh      NAMI  "file3"
  7035 zsh      RET   lstat 0
  7035 zsh      CALL  stat(0xbfffb0d9,0xbfffb5ac)
  7035 zsh      NAMI  "file3"
  7035 zsh      RET   stat -1 errno 2 No such file or directory
  7035 zsh      CALL  getdirentries(0x3,0x1807800,0x1000,0x409594)
  7035 zsh      RET   getdirentries 0
  7035 zsh      CALL  lseek(0x3,0,0)
  7035 zsh      RET   lseek 0
  7035 zsh      CALL  close(0x3)
  7035 zsh      RET   close 0
  7035 zsh      CALL  ioctl(0x2,0x4004667a ,0xbfffb6a8)
  7035 zsh      RET   ioctl 0
  7035 zsh      CALL  write(0x2,0x87b24,0x21)
  7035 zsh      GIO   fd 2 wrote 33 bytes
       "zsh: no matches found: file*(-W)
       "

Seems OK.

BTW, there's a bug earlier: a file is closed twice:

  7028 zsh      CALL  write(0x2,0x87b24,0x13)
  7028 zsh      GIO   fd 2 wrote 19 bytes
       "+zsh:2> echo 4.3.9
       "
  7028 zsh      RET   write 19/0x13
  7028 zsh      CALL  write(0x1,0x87f24,0x6)
  7028 zsh      GIO   fd 1 wrote 6 bytes
       "4.3.9
       "
  7028 zsh      RET   write 6
  7028 zsh      CALL  close(0xd)
  7028 zsh      RET   close 0
  7028 zsh      CALL  close(0xd)
  7028 zsh      RET   close -1 errno 9 Bad file descriptor
