} Looks like the alone grouping pattern (s*) is treated as qualifier.

That would be correct according to the documentation ... anything in
parens that can't be distinguished from a qualifier, is a qualifier,
unless you unsetopt BARE_GLOB_QUAL.

"A glob subexpression that would normally be taken as glob qualifiers,
for example `(^x)', can be forced to be treated as part of the glob
pattern by doubling the parentheses, in this case producing `((^x))'."

However, I can't immediately think of any reason why a paren should be
considered part of a "trailing set" when nothing precedes it ...
