Not a bug. Consider:
$ touch '*'
$ chmod +x '*'
$ ls -F '*'
**
ls -F is merely appending the indicator on the end of the name as you
typed it in, even if it results in what looks like a double indicator.
Where it gets interesting is on systems where / and // are distinct, but
for consistency, we still do:
$ \ls -Fd / //
// ///
