--- Comment #1 from Michael Matz <matz at suse dot de> ---
The patch I posted at
  https://sourceware.org/pipermail/binutils/2023-June/128002.html
should fix this (but please test on your full example).

A note for the future: if you want to name archives in the file-part of section
globs, then the documented forms are (and I'll cite):

----------------
   You can also specify files within archives by writing a pattern
matching the archive, a colon, then the pattern matching the file, with
no whitespace around the colon.

'archive:file'
     matches file within archive
'archive:'
     matches the whole archive
':file'
     matches file but not one in an archive

   Either one or both of 'archive' and 'file' can contain shell
wildcards.
----------------

That it worked formerly with just "lib1.a(*)" is an undocumented behaviour that
got lost with my prefix-tree matching (and is reinstated with above patch).
The above forms would have worked.
