bug#36435: ido mode C-x C-f not showing regular files in special instances

[Michael Wu]

#!/bin/bash

mkdir -p d1/d1 d1/d2 d2/d1 d2/d2 d1/d1/d1 d1/d1/d2 d2/d1/da d2/d1/db
touch d1/d1/{a..c} d2/d1/{1..3}

Were you able to reproduce the issue?

Do you have a shell script that can create this hierarchy so that it's
easier to reproduce?  :-)
