No. It's not there, at least not for this bug.

Meanwhile I think I got the error:

`wildcard-to-regexp' returns always case-sensitive.

Attached the edebug-messages for that part.

Avoiding a call to `wildcard-to-regexp' when
`(directory-files' is called within
`file-expand-wildcards' solves the problem here.

As it's in the core of files.el, I'd hesitate to change
it there. Maybe complete.el should have an own
`file-expand-wildcards'-function?

Attached the diff against CVS files.el so far.

BTW `read-file-name-completion-ignore-case' can't be
saved after customization to `t' with Emacs -Q.
