I tried to follow your description, and I don't see this on my end. In a fresh repository:

    $ mkdir -p some/path/d0
    $ mkdir -p some/path/d1
    $ touch some/path/f0 some/path/d0/f0 some/path/f1.some.extension
    
    $ git ls-files --others
    some/path/d0/f0
    some/path/f0
    some/path/f1.some.extension
    
    $ git ls-files --others 'some/path/*.some.extension'
    some/path/f1.some.extension
    
    $ git version
    git version 2.28.0

Could you provide a more detailed recipe to reproduce the issue?
