I don't understand what's going on here.  The exact same command is giving two different results?  When I try this on my system, I don't get a single-line listing of the 4 files, but rather the result "*.png" as you did in the second run of the command above.  Is there a typo somewhere?  Did you mean for the two commands above to be the same?
