This is caused by dash's use of fnmatch(3) which appears to break
on patterns containing [\]...].
Here is a sample program to demonstrate it.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <fnmatch.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
printf("%d\n", fnmatch("[\\]a]", "a", 0));
return 0;
}
I will disable fnmatch(3) in dash for now.
