This is related to this glibc bug:
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=23393
The bug mentions the regular expression [0-9], but it also affects
patterns like [a-z]. I have not yet looked at fnmatch and glob in
detail, but based on the report here (and a quick test with “echo
[a-z]*”), they are affected by the same issue.
This is ultimately caused by a locale data update which was backported
into Fedora 28 (glibc 2.27) and its derivatives. Upstream glibc only
has this change for version 2.28 (not yet released). It's currently
not considered a release blocker, if it's even considered a bug at
all.
I dimly recall earlier discussions regarding this matter quite some
time ago, perhaps in the POSIX context. GNU grep appears to have a
workaround for [0-9], but not [a-z]. Cc:ing Jim Meyering in case he
has any insights.
