Please check bug #43407 as I believe this is the same issue, and not a bug.

Directory exists, but glob finds no files.
If it considered an error why isn't it printed?

I believe it should return an empty array/display an error/or this issue should be documented here http://php.net/glob

We are talking here about Zend_Cache not working because of this.

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

If Zend_Cache does not work, it should be fixed.
