This is not a bug.  Enabling the `extglob' changes the behavior of the
shell parser, since the interpretation of `(' is modified depending on
context.  Since functions are parsed when they're defined, not when
they're executed, enabling the `extglob' option inside the function
will not affect how the function is parsed.
