I don't think so, but it's probably a regression over 1.9.x.  In 1.10
Wget started to set up the locale by calling setlocale(LC_ALL...), and
it's biting us in places like this.

The error message could be a regression, but I didn't actually check.
The faulty logic that uses fnmatch even when strcmp would sufffice
looks like it's been inherited since very early versions.

If 1.11 is frozen, this is not important enough to break the freeze,
because it only happens in very specific circumstances.  It looks like
material for a 1.11.1.
