> Why is this a bug?  i.e. is there a /u*r directory, and do its permissions

Yes, in the shell (which is normally what runs this command), "cd /u*r"
will probably succeed by expanding "/u*r" to "/usr".
But the hack I added to "M-x compile" which tries to recognize a leading
"cd <blabla>" gets in the way.
