I've got the order of arguments wrong here (PATHNAME-MATCH-P isn't
commutative), but switching them doesn't improve the result.

However, both SBCL and CMUCL return T if you put the arguments in the
proper order and also explicitly provide the host as part of the
wildcard pathname:

    * (pathname-match-p "demo1:;foo.lisp" "demo1:;**;*.*.*")
    T

So it's not a bug.

I apologize for my confusion.
