The completion shows file names because the code calls
read-file-name-internal. Try the same without fido, and at the prompt
for the wildcard type '?' -- you will see a list of files. That's
what fido shows.
Why that code calls read-file-name-internal, I don't know; perhaps
because it wants to support the use case of searching a single file or
files in a directory?
