I can't find any docs on cmake.org about what a globbing-expression is
exactly, but the docs for file(glob) at least don't say anything about this
function producing the same results on different platforms. In fact I'd be
surprised if the behavior of the file(glob) function is different than
using the same wildcards with ls/dir on a terminal.

The only bug that I can see from your description is that the behavior is
inconsistent with different types of FS on OSX, that is definetly not
matching above mentioned expectation.

Anyway, the right place to report bugs/problems is
