I think the part of insert-directory that deals with wildcard lacks
the call to shell-quote-argument here:

		      ;; NB since switches is passed to the shell, be
		      ;; careful of malicious values, eg "-l;reboot".
		      ;; See eg dired-safe-switches-p.
		      (call-process
		       shell-file-name nil t nil
		       shell-command-switch
		       (concat (if (memq system-type '(ms-dos windows-nt))
				   ""
				 "\\") ; Disregard Unix shell aliases!
			       insert-directory-program
			       " -d "
			       (if (stringp switches)
				   switches
				 (mapconcat #'identity switches " "))

Can you try running each switch through shell-quote-argument?
