globbing doesn't work locally

This is on rsync v2.4.5 on RedHat 7.3.
If I do something like
rsync ... 'somehost:/path/to/files.*' /local/path
it works fine, but if I do
rsync ... '/local/path/to/files.*' somehost:/path/to
globbing fails, yielding an error about being unable to find a file
named 'files.*':
link_stat /local/path/to/files.* : No such file or directory
rsync error: partial transfer (code 23) at main.c(578)
This strikes me as Not A Good Thing, i.e., file globbing should work
even inside literals.
