The later command is basically creating a list of files (a shell function) and doing a "du" on each file individually.
Here is another example to show you what is happening....
[egreshko@meimei test-dir]$ ls stuff test test1 test2
[egreshko@meimei test-dir]$ cat stuff tes te te*
[egreshko@meimei test-dir]$ grep te stuff tes te te*
[egreshko@meimei test-dir]$ grep te* stuff [egreshko@meimei test-dir]$
But if I change to a directory which contains no files....
[egreshko@meimei test-dir]$ cd .hidden
[egreshko@meimei .hidden]$ ls
[egreshko@meimei .hidden]$ grep te* ../stuff tes te te*
