buggy shell pattern copying behaviour?

[4.7.4-56-gb537fcc]

In older versions of mc, If I want to copy `foo.ps' to `foo.ps.old', I
selected

  *.old

as the target pattern (without modifying mc's default value `*' for
the source pattern).  According to the help file, under `Mask
Copy/Rename -> Use shell patterns on', this should be still possible.
However, currently only

  \1.old

as the target pattern works as expected.  Using `*.old' creates a file
`.old' instead.

This looks like a bug.
