For subst-globs-only to be useful, you will want to set both substitute and glob as well. What it does is allow substitutions only when globbing is going to do something so if you type cd $HOME/, $HOME will not be expanded but if you type echo $HOME/* it will be because the expansion is necessary for the globbing to work. Whether this is something that you want I don't know. For me, it made the behaviour better but still a long way from the way I'd like it to be. Glob expansion including tilde expansion was the final annoyance that made me stop using _expand altogether. Oliver Kiddle
