Please try the following on a linux system:

ln -s file1 file2
Doing ls shows file2 exists (but it points to a non-existing file).
Fire up vim:
vim -u NONE -N
:echo string(glob("*"))
shows that glob() returns an empty string, whereas it should show
file2. "file2" is a symbolic link, which means that its a file that has
contents (which happens to be a path to a non-existing file).
I see the problem. And when you create the "file2" file it lists both
file1 and file2.
If after the ln -s file1 file2, one then types
touch file1
ls
then both file1 and file2 appear. Glob("*") should in that case show
file1 and file2. There must be some information gathering that fails on
the missing file1 that stops f_glob() from showing file2.
