That means it's working perfectly.  It's hitting this line at the top of
_du

  _pick_variant gnu=3DFree\ Soft unix --version /dummy/no-such-file

and deciding, quite reasonably in my opinion, that foo_\* is not a GNU
variant of du.  So it's going to the other branch, where the options are
simpler.
