  When I do C-x C-f /a/b/c, with shell being /bin/sh (zsh emuled),
  I still have a weird behavior:

<TAB>
read-file-name-internal: Opening directory: no such file or directory, /a*/b*/
<TAB>
read-file-name-internal: Opening directory: no such file or directory, /a**/b**/
<TAB>
read-file-name-internal: Opening directory: no such file or directory, /a***/b***/
<TAB>
read-file-name-internal: Opening directory: no such file or directory, /a****/b****/

  AFAIU, this patch fixes the /c* bug (i.e. the last part of the filename
  being completed) but not the whole problem.
