ok I debugged the section that is supposed to remove the wildcard from the
directory with the example above a bit.
IMHO there's only one line that could possibly remove the wildcard and that
would be
(setq files (PC-expand-many-files (concat pat "*")))

With the example above the function PC-expand-many-files is now called with
parameter "subdir*/file*" and returns (subdir*/file*).
My first guess would be that PC-expand-many-files is supposed to resolve the
wildcards and my 2nd guess is that it doesn't work cause we're not in the
right directory.
