That's unfortunate, but it's not a bug.

I just noticed a really serious bug in bash filename globbing:
$ echo /B*
$ echo /[A-C]*
/bin /boot
This is on an ext3 filesystem, which should clearly be case-sensitive!

BTW: I found out about this bug by running
$ rm -rf /some/dir/[A-Z]*
That's unfortunate, but it's not a bug.
