In case anyone cares --- no, the glob shouldn't have worked here because
it looks like a bad set of glob qualifiers ("unknown file atribute b").

Next problem is whether it's trying too hard to get glob compilation on
something that's expanded from a variable, without GLOB_SUBST set.
Strictly, I think that probably *is* a problem.  In principle the
quoting should happen on the result of that expansion, and only
if was expanded (from a variable or command or whatever).  I don't think
I'm going down that route myself, however.

Fix so far committed --- I will leave it at that.
