This appears to be slightly different than normal *nix globbing since
SQLite uses '^' rather than '!' for the set inversion (if my reading of
the source is correct).
GLOB is suppose to exactly mimic Unix, except that SQLite does not
break pattern matching at / boundaries the way the shell does.
So if the previous statement is true, it is a bug.
Experiments using bash indicate that either ^ or ! is accepted
as the negation of a character set. Hence,
ls -d [^tu]*
ls -d [!tu]*
both return the same thing - a list of all files and directories
in the current directory whose names do not begin with "t" or "u".
SQLite only supports ^, not !. I wonder if this is something I
should change? It would not be much trouble to get GLOB to support
both, must like the globber in bash.
Anybody have an old Bourne shell around? An authentic C-shell?
What do they do?

Both Korn and Bourne shells behave differently for the examples but in
the same way.
ls -d [^tu]* behaves like your example
ls -d [!tu]* lists all directories.
C Shell does not recognize the 2nd example. First one behaves as above.
