It looks to me like a bug.
Your expectation of the expansion looks correct to me, and on Linux I
get the behaviour that you wanted from /bin/bash, /bin/sh (links to
bash) and /bin/csh (links to /bin/tcsh).
It is remotely possible that there is some "real" csh that disagrees,
but if so then I'd still prefer the behaviour that you want. (Tom
Christensen would, of course, disagree.)
Cheers,
Ben
