I read the debate on this, and while I'm not sure that es's behavior is
currently wrong, I see no reason for not making it do what you expected
it to.  As Chet Ramey noted, it's an extra case that I hadn't considered
before, but checking for it shouldn't be hard.

I looked at it a little, and I think that listglob() probably needs to
do somethng different when slashcount > 0, but I haven't really thought
it through.
