Thanks for the report.  I can reproduce this with upstream 5.4.2 (not
yet packaged):

$ zsh -f
% cd $(mktemp -d)
% touch ./foo ./.bar 
% rm *
zsh: sure you want to delete all 2 files in /tmp/tmp.65xnqgzMAY [yn]? y
% 
% ls -A
.bar
% echo $ZSH_PATCHLEVEL
zsh-5.4.2-1-gab6ac7313

For future reference, a descriptive subject line would have been
helpful.  I've fixed this for you now.

I'll forward this upstream.

Cheers,
