3) A third aspect, that should perhaps be considered by some more
knowledgable person than me:

One main use of pattern matching is matching filenames (2.13.3 Patterns
Used for Filename Expansion).
Filenames however are explicitly byte strings


So if pattern matching is indeed intended to only have a specified meaning
on character strings (in the current locale), then 2.13.3 should somehow
explain this.

Especially how such patterns should deal with filenames that aren't
character strings in the current locale (e.g. error, unspecified,
ignored?).

For example, would a "ls *" in principle be expected to only match
filenames who are character strings in the current locale?
