A bug in command.com's handling of "if" on for loops, I'd say. Consider
this test program:

 @echo off
 del test.txt
 for %%i in (*.*) do echo "%%i" >> test.txt
 echo ==========================
 type test.txt
 echo ==========================

Running it in a directory with files file[1-3].bat gives:

 ==========================
 "FILE2.BAT"
 "TEST.TXT"
 "FILE1.BAT"
 "FILE3.BAT"
 ==========================

However, substituting the "for" with:

 for %%i in (*.*) do if 1==1 echo "%%i" >> test.txt

the result is now:

 "TEST.TXT"
 "FILE1.BAT"
 "FILE3.BAT"
 ==========================
 "FILE2.BAT"
 ==========================
