No, that's not right either.  At this point the following is the only
thing I've tried that gets me the same behavior (including proper cursor
placement) both with and without globcomplete set.  This bothers me,
because I don't understand why globcomplete sends us through this branch
of the code in the first place.  I mean, I follow the conditional logic
in _path_files that gets it here, but I don't know why the conditionals
are written the way they are.
