I see what you mean but I can't reproduce your issue:


diff --git a/support/scripts/apply-patches.sh 
b/support/scripts/apply-patches.sh

On my side the expansion is done only into apply-patches.sh but you are 
right it is done too early


I am going to send a patch to correct this.


Thanks to report this bug.
