:find problem?

I would like to report some unexpected behaviour:

1. :set path+=~/dev/**
2. :find test.c                         works

1. :set path+=~/dev
2. :find **/test.c                     doesn't work

And yet, :h wildcard suggests that it should...

Note: File in ~/dev/project/example/test.c

Where does it say that ":find **/test.c" should work?
It says ":n **/test.c" works, but that is not using 'path'.

Nevertheless, there is a todo item:

Patch for completion of ":find" arguments. (Nazri Ramliy, 2009 Feb 22, 26)
8   For ":find" and ":sfind" expand files found in 'path'.
Update 2009 Mar 28.

Perhaps that one makes it work as you expect.
