This doesn't seem like a bug to me.  Those strange names 
have the Unix style magic characters in them.  
Unfortunately, brackets are valid file/dir names in 
Windows.

If anything were changed, I would prefer strengthening the 
magic character recognizer from:
   magic_check = re.compile('[*?[]')
to something that can treat ill-formed bracket expressions 
as being non-magic.

When posting a bug report, please avoid zip files and 
multiple test scripts.  It is enough to include in the text of 
the report something like this:
    glob.glob('[_]/*')   # fails to recognize a win directory
