This is exactly what I would expect.  The problem arises when you use
long filenames.  All of the filenames you use here are less than 8
characters, so the long filename and the short filename are the same.  
If you have these two files in the same directory

A long file name.txt
alongf~2.txt

doing 'dir along*.*' will show both files.  Try doing 'dir /x' to show
both long and short filenames and you'll see what I mean.  The first
filename will (probably, the number following the tilde may be different
depending on what other files are/were in that directory, and if the
number is multiple digits, that part before the tilde will be shorter to
compensate and make the filename 8 characters) show up as alongf~1.txt.
