Issue is with the * character it seems. Also, I noticed that files adjacent to the troublesome folder get uploaded.
Passing along to Richard so he can get some AzCopy experience :)
With 1.29.0 a temporary fix resolves this issue by escaping the * character. However, waiting on Azcopy for a more comprehensive fix.
Verified this issue on the build main/20230516.3. Fixed. So, we are going to close it.
