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.
