Thanks, Tom, I'll open a bug report.

does
              mangled names = no
in your share section of smb.conf solve your problem?

Gunter, thanks! with that option set, the misbehavior with dir with wildcards does *not* happen. So, is this still a bug or is this intended behavior? I certainly didn't anticipate it, so from my perspective it is unexpected behavior.

At the very least, I would expect mangled names = no to be the default behavior, as it provides the most consist behavior. Windows long file names have been around for a very long time, so I don't see why 8.3 support should be the default. Then if people want mangled names = yes, they can be informed of unanticipated side effects. So, make the expected behavior the default and make the user explicitly ask for unexpected behavior.
