I stumbled into this problem (works fine in my environment, but fails in
/bin/dash) when I first attempted to write test73.
At that point the find completion was implemented differently when on
windows (using mch_expandpath()) than when on unix (using globpath())
and it still contained the buggy 'recursive = TRUE' stuff, which is now
fixed in changeset 7ec9ada2cd81.
I could not reproduce the problem that you are reporting with the latest
vim (changeset 06a44c4eb3e5 "Prepare for 7.3e release").
I can reproduce the problem with the following bug-ridden-patch:

James, maybe you are running the test with an outdated vim?
nazri.
