$ emacs -q
(ffap-bindings)

And then
   (info "(emacs) Dired Enter")
      A wildcard may appear in the directory part as well.  For instance,

     C-x d  ~/foo/*.el  <RET>
     C-x d  ~/foo/*/*.el  <RET>

still work, but

     C-x d  ~/foo/*/v.el  <RET>

won't! Even though ls(1) would show several matches.

One at least needs

     C-x d  ~/foo/*/?.el  <RET>

And even ~/[ab].x

won't work, despite ffap-pass-wildcards-to-dired settings... So

     C-x d  ~/foo/*/[abc].el  <RET>

is even more impossible.

So you have a file called "v.el"?

$ mkdir foo
$ mkdir foo/bar
$ touch foo/bar/v.el
C-x d  ~/foo/*/v.el
fails.

It works for me in Emacs 27.1, so I guess this has been fixed?

(Your bug reports often don't mention what Emacs version you're using;
please use `M-x report-emacs-bug' when reporting bugs.)
