I don't see from eyeballing which changes in this patch you refer to,
but typically the reason for treating array elements as glob patterns
is to be able to apply the (N) flag and thereby remove any paths that
don't exist.  $path and $fpath may be set in shared .z* files to cover
a number of possible locations that don't exist on every server where
the file is used.
