Yet still, now having gone over the (titles of) the changes that went in
between 2.43 and 2.44, there was nothing that even remotely looks like it
might have had such an effect. IOW I still wonder whether that isn't a
change on the library side, resulting in applications behaving differently.
Or, if this isn't a self-built binary, in how the package build is done.

Just fyi, while I don't have any MinGW around, I at least tried with
Cygwin. No wildcard expansion in 2.43 either when an argument is quoted.

I can certainly understand such to be surprising.
