$dir contains a straight string with unquoted parentheses. The
~filepattern then turns those parentheses into pattern characters.
I'm not sure why you want filepattern anyway, but
print -c ${dir}**/*
or
local filepattern="**/*"
print -c ${dir}${~filepattern}
ought to work. Otherwise you'll need to quote metacharacters in dir,
which is possible but should be unnecessary.
