Yeah, the existing code is correct _only_ if the pattern part can
match an empty string (e.g. "three/a.3*") and this is a correct fix.

With your "teach attr.c match the same optimization as dir.c"
series, you would need something like this

diff --git i/attr.c w/attr.c
index 6d39406..528e935 100644
--- i/attr.c
+++ w/attr.c
@@ -710,7 +710,7 @@ static int path_matches(const char *pathname, int pathlen,
         * if the non-wildcard part is longer than the remaining
         * pathname, surely it cannot match.
         */
-       if (!namelen || prefix > namelen)
+       if (prefix > namelen)
                return 0;
        if (baselen != 0)
                baselen++;

Comparing the corresponding code in dir.c, there is no "compare the
literal prefix part with strcmp() before doing the fnmatch()"
optimization.  Intended?
