Needs a versionchanged. In any case, brace expansion is not part of globbing (see the bash or zsh manuals) because it does not generate valid file names, and it is a non-POSIX expansion of some shells. Are you sure it should be put into the glob module? (Not speaking of the backward incompatibility it creates.)
