Comment (by dd32):

 Looks like `glob_regexp()` probably needs a `preg_quote()`, some of the
 others may need it too if they've got data passed in.

 As for tests, AFAIK there exist no tests for this section of code (either
 by us, or others), and due to the complexity of adding them, it's not
 going to be realistic to add them either.
