| zsh (and ksh) provide the expected result:
As far as I can tell, all shells except bash preserve the
null components, regardless of whether or not pattern chars
appear in filenames to the right or left of the last/first '/'.
I don't think it is a good idea to rely on any specific
behaviour here though - about the only string it makes
sense to compare the results of a pathname expansion with is
the initial pattern (considered as a string) and even there
extreme care is required (particularly if you don't control
the pattern).
That said, I also see no particularly good reason why bash should
be the outlier here.
