This definitely applies to posh.
Definitely. But here, that's (most probably) a compatibility bug.

Verify by running: ZSH_EMULATION=sh zsh -xc 'echo /configtest*' It should show something like: +/home/chazelas/.zshenv:1> [ -n sh ']' +/home/chazelas/.zshenv:2> emulate sh +zsh:1> echo '/configtest*' /configtest* -- Stephane
