It appears to be a bug in the (largely undocumented) compfiles builtin,
which generates a glob pattern of 'baddir*(-/)' for the directory in
question, which then does not match. Special characters other than a
backslash appear to be handled correctly, at least in a few minimal
tests I tried.
Don't have time right now to try to trace this down (and frankly don't
care to venture into that part of the code if I don't have to ...).
