I ran those commands under bash 4.3.18.  Maybe one of us has tweaked
some shell option that changes what "bashdefault" does.  (In which case,
"bashdefault" isn't a very good name.)

This is all a total mystery to me!

For the record, the shell where I ran those has dotglob off, extglob off,
etc.  Every shopt line with "glob" in it is off.
