Was the post before you found the cause or are you asking why it throws an error on the set command with glob_compat_mode / "special characters" handling turned on? Whether or not a database is loaded doesn’t/shouldn’t affect whether glob_compat_mode is set (and doesn’t appear to for me).
With globbing on, that set command will match against a db object containing a single char of ‘l’, ‘i’, ’s’, ’t’, ‘p’, ‘1’, ‘2’, ‘ ‘, and maybe ‘$’… which of course isn’t likely to match so it’s equivalent to “set l1” without any args, resulting in an error message. If there does happen to be a db with a single-char object matching, then one will of course get different behavior when that database is loaded vs loaded (i.e., single char list vs error). Cheers!
