Take the following example, assumed to be run in an empty directory:

$ mkdir a
$ echo **
a
$ echo **/**
  a a
$ echo **/**/**
  a a a

I would expect the result to be just 'a' in all cases.

You also get back a null filename, as shown by

$ for f in **/**/**; do echo "'$f'"; done
''
'a'
'a'
'a'

I can't reproduce it on my Fedora with bash 4.2.10 nor 4.2.39. Tried turn on and off extglob shell option. Can you please resend your report with `bashbug' script? Or at least say which linux distribution you are using?
