$ emacs -q
(ffap-bindings)

And then
   (info "(emacs) Dired Enter")
      A wildcard may appear in the directory part as well.  For instance,

     C-x d  ~/foo/*.el  <RET>
     C-x d  ~/foo/*/*.el  <RET>

still work, but

     C-x d  ~/foo/*/v.el  <RET>

won't! Even though ls(1) would show several matches.

One at least needs

     C-x d  ~/foo/*/?.el  <RET>

And even ~/[ab].x

won't work, despite ffap-pass-wildcards-to-dired settings... So

     C-x d  ~/foo/*/[abc].el  <RET>

is even more impossible.
